ps there not my hands in the pic its the missus my finger nails i paint more manly... like pink

But surely no-one will buy branch wood above a large cavity without seeing it first? It seems like a hell of a risk to the buyer, which would reflect the price offered, which is going to be minimal anyway due to the volume of timber, which would make it less appealing to the customer to have cut down.....and is that their main consideration for removal?

Not trying to put a damper on this, but i have been milling for over 12 years, and selling timber too, and wouldnt but it without it on the deck TBH. Or do you have to give a POSSIBLE value for the timber?

basically the customer wants the tree down thinks its worth a fortune i said ill try and see how much i could get for it and go from there i told him its not going to be worth alot because its not a chunky straight single stem. if someone is interested they can make a offer, thats all i can say really.

I get it now:blushing:....it ought to be worth something though ubless it is rotten, even being branch wood. Good luck with it.

its all solid i gave it a good hammer test sounds solid that cavity is where a 4ft stem would have been ages ago its not even deeper than my finger.

 

hopefully if rob ds offer still stands he can have it

The best money could be made from the stem if you can take the main trunk out with the rootball still attached. That's where the big money is for Walnut.

I was under the impretion that branch wood and leaning stems were of little use, as they are very unstable, due to the inbuilt tension and will go like propeller blades when cut??

 

I think its a real mistake to confirm any customers ideas that their tree has any value. I tell them that because its not woodland grown it will have nails and I don't want a bill from the saw mill for a new band.

 

If they still insist it has value, I say "no problem, you keep the wood and sell it" they soon realise that the fact I really don't want it means its value is at best limited.

I would not bother milling this tree. Looks like turning blanks or firewood to me.

Has anyone on here actually managed to sell a walnut stump? and for how much?

[testcricket01]

well that sorts it out again, just got a phone call from the customer he has changed his mind since yesterday and doesnt want it down, AGAIN

Totally hit the nail on the head.
