Nice little pile of walnut

I was just being funny. I would have cut these up for firewood but my friend wants to make a table top with them. They came from his old family farm, Joe.

good straight walnut.. with no nails, is hard to find..

Around here it's pretty common. I used to cut it all up for firewood. Now I keep some to mill. I wanted to cut up the little pieces, but my friend asked if I might be able to get a mantle out of one, so I'll try, Joe.

My buddy dropped off a couple chunks of Black Walnut Monday, so I cut it up for him yesterday.




OOPS, wrong forum, , Joe.

That's the thinnest band of sapwood I've ever seen on walnut.

Yep, that stuff grows in groves where it self prunes as it reaches for light.

So THAT's what highly valuable walnut looks like. It looks highly valuable.

I play that video every time some one posts it, my wife sits behind me, and says turn that stupid thing off, I just crack up.

I milled up some of the chunks of walnut yesterday, and a juniper log that I had laying out there. I think the walnut might be highly valuable, my little brother told me to name my price for the pieces..... hehehe little does he know.....

Love milling crotches. I have one that's been air drying for about 5 years. I'm about ready to try and cut a butt stock and forearm out of it. Incredible figure in it, keeping my fingers crossed, Joe.

That's the kind I like Rob. The ones I did for my friend were a special. They came off his family farm, or I would have split them for firewood. Although being kind of small they milled quick and easy. I forgot, is your mill a Norwood? My buddy has a Norwood, not sure what model. He hasn't run it in several years and now he can't get it started. I may offer to buy it. A shame to just let it sit, Joe.

My BSM is a Norwood Lubermate 2000, it's been a GREAT mill,

For the most part, it's been completely trouble free...

Black walnut makes decent shoulder season or firepit wood and it dries quickly...I never turn it down!
