Are you sure the mill in question isn't a veneer mill? That's the only way I can see somebody paying $1300 for a 34" walnut and still making a profit.
Or is the walnut market that strong?
DarenYou'll only see loads like that if the guys you are getting them from have kept their ear plugs in 24-7 and haven't heard anything about the Walnut Market!
This past Sunday in the Pittsburgh,Pa Sunday paper there was an article about growing, or not growing, plants around yard walnut trees. The author, a lady connected to the University Extension Service, said that if you choose to remove a walnut tree from your yard, don't pay a tree service. She said that black walnut is a valuable wood, which it is, and you can sell your tree for a lot of money. That's all I need, more people calling with standing timber to sell and all it is is a yard tree.

We have a large veneer mill locally that I sold to a couple of years ago.... at the time the buyer told me he was lucky to get 3 or 4 walnut veneer logs per year.....too many walnut buttlogs have lower branches on them.
