We have 15-20 of these trees [black walnut] on our farm, but they are still in nutting use. And they are HUGE. Over 125+ years that I know of. My Grandparents planted them on the farm when they first bought it,, and 5 generations have lived on this 388 acre farm.

My grandfather made all of the Mission style furniture in his house, tables, chairs, rockers, chests, from black walnut. Each year a supplier came through town and knew to stop by my grandfather's shop first because he would buy all of the black walnut. Those trees are so very slow growing, and messy that most people don't want to wait for the cash crop that the lumber can bring, especially if you have the land to do a staggered planting so there are trees of different ages at all times. If people want a permanent dark brown to black dye, there's nothing better than the husk of black walnuts. You got some absolutely stunning slabs and even the waste pieces will be good for small projects or inlay work on blonde wood projects.

Yesindeedy! Black walnut really stained our hands when picking the. Nuts from those thick husks. We used to put cardboard down in the driveway and, Nuts, then more cardboard and run over them with the car, multiple times2. Then use a big heavy darning needle to pick the Nuts. One Christmas my friend gave me a little baggie of Nuts, an ice cream recipe, and 2 joints, wrapped in red and green papers. That was 40 some years ago and I still remember it. As the best v present I ever got.
