kmmcrafts Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 This should be the last of my walnut lumber. Hopefully I will be able to make room to get it all inside. Last two photos is what I had from last falls haul. I did use a small stack that I couldn’t get up above last year. Todays load has been cut for a year so it should be dry enough to use. I should be set on walnut lumber for a year or so I think. Now if he would just get some rejected cherry. The lumber graders will reject it if it’s not a certain length or if it has a split or knot in it within the certain length.

I have way more walnut than I need. I’m only taking this stuff because it was headed to the burn pile or wood chipper. Lots of good crafts wood here.

Well darn, I guess that means I need to unload the rest of the truck. I filled up my one storage space and still have more than half of what was in the first picture in my truck. I might put some of this on Marketplace but I have no idea of the value. I'd guess around 150 ish bdf since they estimated the load to be around 200 bdf.. I don't really even know how you calculate the bdf. I'm just a scroll sawer, Should be worth at least a couple hundred I'd think.

I've never bought much quantity of walnut because I knew it was pricey and most scroll projects I do doesn't look great made from walnut. I mostly use Cherry.. and I do buy it from a lumber store already edged, planed etc.. I just happen to need a piece of walnut for a special order a couple years ago and my brother hooked me up with some, then also told the other local mills I'm interested in walnut scraps.. now I'm overloaded in walnut. I put in a word about cherry.. I'm pretty sure I'll have plenty of it soon, and nowhere to put it cause I got all this walnut in my storage space, .. Surely this stuff I have is probably not considered decent because it does have areas with knots and splitting which is why it was rejected by the grade lumber buyers.. I think they require at least 6ft. long and also a certain width that is clear of knots and splits so it doesn't make the top grade. They are picky, it could be 5ft x 11.75 long and a perfect board but that 1/4" makes it a reject.. that's the kind of stuff I have here.. though some are also knots and splits.. great stuff for scroll sawing, cutting boards, and other small stuff where you can work around the bad spots. Heck some of this with the splitting is a dream for those that fill in splits etc with epoxy resin. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieC Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 I love walnut, too bad you are so far from WA state! That is a bit far for a road trip. My Mom's family is from the Upper Penninsula though...Great find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
