This load headed to the mill

Black walnut for some projects once I get it dried out

 

Cool! Do you use the sapwood part for anything?

 

I just have mill get me as much as they can out of it.

they stay if you mill and immediately stack tightly together for a few months, before stickers, sap wood turns dark brown. But I like the contrast it can offer on small projects, so I think I will just sticker and let dry. Likely 2 yrs to air dry it. I get it cut 4/4 usually, so green it’s about 1 and 1/8th thick

 

Nice looking wood that will make some beautiful woodworking projects

 

Some sweet logs for milling. Cant blame you. Love to come across some myself for the mill. BW rare score for me. Be sure to post pics after its milled.

 

I hear that Walnut is highly valuable.

 

Nice score. I like the contrast too.

 

Looks like nice centered heartwood. Should be quite a pile of lumber there when finished.

 

Nope, it is still at the mill waiting in line

but I’ll post one back once it’s done

 

Mill finished and got back 479 board feet. So now I’ll clean it up with chop saw, sticker and wait. I got most 4/4, but got about 70 feet in 8/4.

 

A couple of pics of the grain while you stack/sticker them, please?

 

Will do. Planning to process it all wed next week

 

Thanks!

 

We are like kids
Hate waiting
Are we there yet

 

Well, a hot day to process, but all done and stickered. Pulled a couple pieces with some interesting grain and added a little water to show grain. now we wait 12-18 months!
