Old english walnut timber prices.

Before you cut anything, get in touch with the likes of rover and rolls royce, they will tell you how to proceed. Walnut should NEVER be felled, and the expense of getting the root ball out is usually worth it. A premium walnut root ball can fetch £10k/tonne!!!

Rolls Royce??

 

I aways thought that the root ball was used for gun stocks, as the "buttress flair" creates the curve.

Yeah- it comes from the root balls. Check out pages 140-141 of 'wildwood-ajourney through trees' by Roger Deakin. A 4000lb root ball from california once made 12000 square feet of veneer, another tree sold from the Sandringham estate was sold for 5k, and converted to veneer becoming worth 50k!
