A friend has 10 - 12 walnut logs from a tree that was cut down in his MIL's yard some 25 years ago. The logs have been stored in a garage the entire time and I am told they are in good shape, meaning no bugs or rot. The logs range from 8" to 12" in diameter, and run about 10' long. Question is, is it worth having these things milled?
There are a couple of local guys that will run them for about $200 if we deliver to them or double that if they bring their equipment to us. I am thinking that we could end up with about 1200 board feet of 4/4 walnut, but I could be way off in my guessing.
Thoughts on if it is worth doing it? Any problems or things to look for with wood that old?
Thanks in advance.
