Reggie, this is very dangerous stuff you are talking about... especially the pieces with all that curl and swirly patterning to it... but since I am certified to dispose of this material in a safe and sane manner, just email me and we will arrange the safe transfer of all of it to my facility.... LOL

Walnut is very nice wood... it turns a whole lot nicer green that it does dry.. in fact dry walnut actually comes off in hot chips instead of curls when I do a bowl.. and my tools are real sharp... it sands and finishes nice and smooth and if you are lucky enough to get some with some nice curl or burl effect in the grain it can look really outstanding...
Dry walnut is not a great wood for a beginning bowl turner because it is tough, but the green wood is sweet...
