Walnut Lumber

[Northbigmuddy]

I have 3 walnut trees that are coming down for a house addition. The trees are roughly 50-60 years old, about 45-50' tall with trunk diameters around 36".

Quite a few folks have said the trees are valuable for their lumber...but no one knows anyone interested in purchasing the trees. I am having the trees sectioned up as little as possible, so if someone were inclined to purchase the wood I could load it on to a trailer for them.

The location is west Desoto county. Anyone know anyone who buys this stuff? Thoughts, comments?

Would love to have one section of one of the trees but don't have the time to come get it. Go to www.woodnet.net and post it up on their site. It's a woodworking forum. There are other forums as well. Post it up on there with pics of the trees. Walnut dried to less than 10% usually goes for about $3-4/bf. Wet fresh cut wood is probably half that maybe a little more. Not sure what the logs would sell for however. Might be easier to sell it if you have a portable sawmill come and cut it up in 4/4, 8/4, and 12/4 boards. Hope that helps you a little.
