Seems like when it rains it pours, and lately I find myself swimming in walnut. one day a week during this past summer I milled walnut from an orchard that was removed. last week a neighbor offered me a walnut tree he was having removed from his front yard.
the first pic shows my rig on top of the log after milling 2 1" boards to be cut up for stickers and two 2 1/4" slabs. it is hard to tell from the pic but that is an 051 with a 42" bar and a grandburg mill with 48" rails. the log is 10' long and 36" at the base and 34" at the top.
The second pic shows a stack of 6 slabs, all 2 1/4" thick and 10' long. the slab on top is 28" at the near end.
The third pic really shows off the color and grain typical of claro walnut (juglans hindsii) I will get another 4 or 5 slabs when I finish up next week for a total yeild of about 500 bf.
