But likewise there are 2 two guys saying it depends on whether it is "claro" or "nigra" and if it's claro it probably worth it.

A guy on another forum thinks in that area, a walnut that size is native claro, and will probably be highly figured. The weight of a tree that size will make for some serious compression rings(hopefully).

Thanks for the replies, I'll let you know what happens.

as stated earlier ,if you want the timber and can afford the larger mill or make one , its an investment . in your plant and equipment , for future jobs as well .and giving you valuable experience as well ! if you can get an offsider to give you a hand and a tandem trailer to cart should go well . best regards Bob
