This is some of the walnut that I have planed to clean it up before sealing the ends and stickering and storing and some that is still awaiting some work. I also have a couple of boards that are too big for me to handle alone, but they are stashed where I can't get pics. The random lengths are the result of my cutting off ends that were not what I wanted. At that price I can afford to trim it!

I am sorry to tell you Carole that you got cheated. That wood isn't even walnut. Since I am in a good mood today, I will be generous and give you fifty cents a board foot for that junk wood you have there. But thats the best I can do. :D Nice haul!!!

Around here we would call you a thief. ;) What a great find! Most of us only dream of something like that.

I feel like a thief! LOL Funny thing is, if I want fresh cut wood (this was stickered for a year) he will custom cut it and then I haul it away and dry it myself for .75/bf. Have to take the whole tree though, which I thought was sort of weird.

Wow, you really did make out like a bandit, Carole! :D I see some beautiful grain there. Hmmmm...I can see the Velvit oil on those boards already! :) Nice find, for sure! :cool:

Dunno about the dry part...stickered out in 4' weeds with no cover and the weeds blocked air circulation. Had a little rot and insect damage on the ends of of a couple of boards where there was a bit of sap wood. I would much rather dry it myself. But I am not complaining!
