Ladies makin' lumber

[SoonerP226]

Interesting. I’ve gotten walnut lumber from a sawyer in SW Missouri, who gets his lumber from the immediate area. He’s got a LOT of lumber, too.

I know a carpenter who needed, IIRC, 14' walnut planks for some big tables he was making, and he had to go to Kentucky to get them. He said he could get them up to 12' long in Oklahoma all day long, but anything longer involved a road trip.

I saw a bit of another episode where one of them explained why they don’t wear gloves. Seemed like weak reasoning, from what I can recall.

LOL, he hasn't been to my yard.
We have two walnut trees that two people can't reach around with over 20' to the first crotch. The crew in here in the past offered a pretty good sum of money but the shade they offer is worth more than their offer in the long run.
Nasty trees as far as the nuts they drop and the sticks later that clog our clog proof gutter drains.
Any seller that tells you they have clog proof gutter drains are lying.
We learned to not pick up the nuts, let the critters take care of it. They will have it cleaned up by spring.
