I just cut down a black walnut tree in suburbia the other day saved the stick 36" by 17 ft and some of the smaller upper sections.Anyone know the value on this thing and who would buy located in NJ.Also because its a backyard tree and has a higher likely hood of metal in it should I just mill at my friends mill for fun.If so does anyone know about stacking and drying.

I am a new member and found this web post on google search. Our farm is formally a William Penn estate with an historical black walnut forest documented by the historical society of Lancaster county.
We did a small harvest select test cut over 10 years ago and was very disappointed with the whole process and after working very hard for a 80 hour work week we discovered that we had been taken advantage of and never considered selling standing or cut timber again...
Then after reading this post thread our spirits lifted that there very well could be professional honest people to sell to after paying very high taxes all theses years and not having a successful harvest on our family farm.
We also have some of the original wide long boards stacked in the 245 plus year old bank barn that we discovered up in the rafters about 20 years ago.
I will post lots of photos this weekend.
Thank you for this wonderful website and look forward to finding honest sources to have a successful tree harvest on the farm some day soon.
