Standing dead Walnut..is the timber worth milling?

[Pete Hart]

Hi guys, i've got a customer who recently phoned to ask if the standing dead Walnut (dead for 6 months apparently!)in there garden would be worth anything once milled (trunk diameter in the region of 20 - 25" so i'm told).

 

I'm not sure myself, so anyone out there got any ideas if its worth doing and how much it could be worth?

 

I didn't actually see the tree when previously working at the property as the garden was pretty big and it was tucked away!

Its either take it down and ring it up, or try and do something with the timber!

Cheers,

Pete

PM Rob D, he may be interested in milling it.

Or maybe not after the one he milled for one of my customers

I think the customer has an idea or been told its worth £££ .... how much is the big question to see if its worth while milling?!

If it was nice and straight with no branches I would pay £4.00 per hoppus foot. That is what it is worth to me, others may pay more if they have a better market for it.
