good on yah,,but I refuse to burn it,,as you get about as much ash,,as the volumn of wood.......View attachment 582227 Went out to do a quick drive through of our magsite this afternoon and I found a nice pile of black walnut someone had dumped on the side of the lane leading to the site. So I decided i had better give it a good home
did I say anything..about how it burns????? hmmm??????I find it burns okay.
The truth is, I'd take soft maple over black walnut for firewood.
yeah...with 20 lbs of nails in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!If that was a yard tree you'd be sitting on 10k worth of logs.
?? probably more steve! as a yard tree they have the luck of sucking up some of the local precious metals.... lolIf that was a yard tree you'd be sitting on 10k worth of logs.
1 double-headed spike... "20 penny" nextOh I'm sure it's a yard tree, I have only seen a couple of these in their "natural habitat" around here. I'm sure it's got to be one of those "highly valubale" black walnut trees too, so let the bidding war begin!!

hey,, i didn't slam uuuuu..just stated the use around here...dry the piss outta it, tho.. may get less ash..i had some dry two yrs,,still ash up the butt........To each his own... but out here, hardwood is getting hard to find, unless it's piss elm, cottonwood, or Russian olive. There used to be a lot of black locust, but they've all been removed to make room for bigger pivots. And it's free, so I won't b**ch too much, plus I'll saw some of it up with my Alaskan mill and make a few boards for a couple projects.

You burn much russian olive? I would think that would be pretty good burning, but dealing with the thorns would be a pain.
I've burned a little, it doesn't burn too bad, kinda has a faint creosote smell to it. Its a real bugger to get cut up though, dealing with all the thorns and small limbs makes it almost not worth messing with. I'm not sure how they grow in the rest of the country, but around here they are really bushy
