The United States of Wood

But…where’s black walnut???

Gotta have black walnut somewhere, it’s…it’s just the best.

I live in Ohio (Columbus, in fact, home of the Buckeyes), and I rarely see a buckeye tree off OSU campus, let alone work with it. But there’s walnut EVERYWHERE here.

I nominate black walnut as our new state tree.

Some states have two state trees.

I don’t have any specifics, but, there are many major restrictions in place across the US because of the spread of insects and diseases. This mainly concerns unprocessed logs or firewood or turning sized chunks.

you can get around this sometimes if you buy kiln treated, can’t you?

[bensostrom]

Ooh, UDF malts – my favorite is peach when the UDF peach ice cream is in season, but their black walnut is pretty special.

I like this plan.

There was a guy we used for custom cuts in Evergreen, but I can’t find his info. I did find this in Boulder though, might be worth a shot.

I drove across the Texas panhandle. Until then I thought a line of telephone (telegraph??) poles all about ten feet high, in a perfect line to the horizon, was just a fictitious thing from roadrunner cartoons.

I’ve driven across just below the panhandle… 800+ miles o nothing but 2 cities and lots of space… AZ en route to FL…

Yes, this primarily concerns unprocessed wood. I was unable to find a comprehensive listing, it is up to the individuals to check with their state about restricted woods.
