Default Re: Black walnut Log Value?

It could be milled and the timber used I suppose.

Often on large trees with a decent trunk people ask if it's it worth anything, but in most cases even if it were milled it's only worth something after the processing which is time intensive.

So most logs are taken for free, milled for free providing the "miller" keeps it.

Commercial mills may pay a small sum for it but they fear nails and other foreign objects in urban timber could do more damage than it's worth to their saws.
