Some make furniture from black walnut.
I burn it. Pretty good firewood.


This tree grew on the edge of a field, on the other side of the field is a house built in 1902, about the time this tree began growing.
No telling if fence staples etc. were driven into such a tree, so close to a house. In other words, somebody in 1940 could have driven a bunch of nails into this tree when it was 10 inches in diameter. Today those nails would be 8 inches deep into the wood and difficult to detect with a metal detector.
Sawmills do not want trees grown near houses, they want trees out in the middle of the forest.
Besides, I don't have a big truck to haul it to the sawmill, nor a lift machine to put it in a truck.
