I got this walnut about 7 -8 months and not sure if it’s English or black. It’s 3” thick 16” wide and 52” long. Cut it with my 064 and new cut i just made from arch
Black walnut? Did some milling today

Guessing English due to lighter shade of heartwood. Sure lots of sapwood
I think Black Walnut.
Never seen English in the flesh so I won't fight ya bout it but the gunstocks I have seen tend to be lighter in color that the black that I see around here
Not here to fight, just giving my opinion. Sure, could be either. I've seen black walnut in many degrees of darkness / lightness depending on growing conditions.
Milled the piece on the left. Walnut cuts like butter

Looks like English due to the bark. I’ve got an English on the saw horses waiting to be milled one of these weekends.
I'm guessing English because the bark doesn't look right for Black. Never seen English though.
Nice CSM. Home made? If so I'd like to see more of it. What saw are you using?

Nice truck!
Mines an '89 and still strong as a goat!
Put helper springs and the available Toyota RV Chasis Shocks in to give it more load capacity and stiffer ride.

I'm guessing English, the black walnut I've cut here was darker and had less sapwood, we just milled 4 logs of english yesterday. The sapwood cuts easier than the heart wood.
Gave the 090 the day off because all the pieces fit through the smaller mill and we could get away with a lighter saw (ported 288) and run a 34" bar and 3/8" chain. Its Oregon 3/8 x 0.063 chisel, full skip, sharpened at 30 degrees, fairly aggressive hook to the cutters (if anyone cares)
Urban milling at its finest, made sure to do it on a sunday when everything was closed. All the concrete makes for one hell of a noise. Having to clean up the sawdust is also a new phenomenon for us, usually we mill in the woods and just leave it all on the ground.
All cut at 3" with the odd 1-1.5" piece so that we got good use of all of it.
These were branches off of a tree that had come down in a guy's back yard. We also milled the crotch late last year it required the big mill.
