Struck walnut gold

[WADKIN]

Sorry i couldn't help the title. It was with tongue in cheek.

Still as a lot of guys are here on account of their passion for timber i thought i would share what i had spent the day doing, most of which was getting wet from the jet washer. I do realise that the finish is awful but believe me when i say that after you have tried opening up a 4ft wide root the saw is lucky to cut at all.

Now all i need to do is think of those tens of thousands i will get for it.:001_rolleyes:

You'll retire on that lotwadkin. 😇

Seriously though it's really nice looking grain and I hope you find someone who can make something to do it justice and make your efforts financially worth wile at the same time.

Cheers, they will all go for guitar tops in a few years time, it was a windblown log so not too bad I wouldn't have fancied digging it.

Guitar tops those book matched bits should be kept together , table top or some doors for something way to stunning to cut up if you ask me , I would be up for a pair , also be up for making you something I made a big dining table about a year ago out of some wind blown walnut there should be some pics on hear somewhere if interested in having a look P M if you are up for doing something

Cheers Mark

I have a full root from a healthy 60 ft walnut that we felled and the lifted the stump with a 30 tonner. Haven't cut it yet but it's about 2 ton. Anybody know af someone that may be interested?

[WADKIN]

If it's solid and of good colour could well be if it's not been cut too low. Just send me a message with details if you want to move it on. Or if you just want to know if it's worth cutting yourself a picture of a fresh cut end will help, most of them are a waste of time and it can be a ball ache cutting.
