I've heard that black walnut lumber is valuable.

I've got a healthy, mature (between 20-40 years) black walnut tree in
my back yard.

Are there companies that come to harvest these trees, and pay you for
the lumber, or does the cost of cutting it down erase any profit?

Thanks


Maybe, maybe not. There are a few factors. Many saw mills will not touch
"yard trees" because they often have hidden nails, hammock supports and
other assorted metal that will damage the cutting blades. The size of the
tree and location come into play is it may be difficult to drop safely.

Go to the web site for Woodmizer and you may find an interested person
through their referral program.
