Hi Henry

Now that's a bit over the top.

There was a warning by the veterinarians that horses that where standing
in wet urinated black walnut shavings had become lame, the horses
recovered after they were taken out of that condition.

Can I assume that Black walnut is a somewhat more expensive wood than
what we have as "walnut" here?

I turned quite a bit of walnut from a neighbors tree last month and no
irritations or problems with it, except for minor hand staining... and
that was mostly from the inner bark..

My guess is that what I has was "English walnut", but how would I
identify Black walnut??
