if juniper worth harvesting? a guy I work with had some large junipers
that he's cutting down are they worth harvesting into timber? on first
thought I think they would have to much pitch and just be a mess any
thoughts?

also has anyone worked with Russian olive before? he's pulling down a
number of 10" that I said I would take
and now the gloat

I'm also getting a 2' diameter walnut tree that has a solid 8' long trunk

Depends on the species, etc. I have planked a fair amount of the local
variety, very nice 400+ year old stuff that is about 2 feet in diameter
(great for boxes and veneer).
The fast growing stuff is probably best for firewood or other basic projects
since it tends to be soft and moves a lot.
