I'll be building new kitchen cabinets this winter. I was going to use Pecan but I stumbled across some Black Walnut on Craigslist. I think I have aquired my GLOAT of the year. I'll let all of you decide.
1200 BdFt of Kiln Dried Black Walnut for $2200. The guy said it was dried to 6% almost a year ago. I checked with my moisture meter in several places in the pile and it was anywhere from 8.6% - 9.6%.
The guy had a beautful new home with what he estimated to be about 7000 bdft of Black Walnut cabinets and trim in it. He still had about 4000 bdft in his garage, I got 1200 of it.
And of course no gloat is complete without pictures, enjoy.

Heres a 1x8 I jointed and planed. It's some beautiful stuff.
