i DON'T know why, but last year I took down or should I say cleared loads of mature storm damaged / wind blown Walnuts, the yard is full of Walnut and all for the stove, the money is in the root ball, if you can believe that !!!!

There is money in a good root ball, IF you can find a buyer. There's also money in planks, if you season them well, have a nice colour and IF you can find a buyer.

What part of the country you in Jesse? I been looking for a couple of highly valuable walnut butts to mill for a project I have in mind.

Too late, all the cordage was so big its now in 12" rings, that's the only way we could move it from domestic sites, it gives a lovely glow on the stove, and in all my 20 or 30 years in timber its only ever gone for fire wood, sad but its my own fact. that's what comes when the only way out is to pick it up and lift it, and that's in bigger rings than 25kg's 7 to 9 stone a lump that's what makes muscles,
