This one’s kinda local. I’m surprised, I thought it was only a northeast thing.

When I was on a firewood crew out of Merced, way back, we took out an English walnut orchard that had 4 huge black/Claro walnuts. We contacted Calico Hardwoods (gunstock mfg) in Santa Rosa and they came down with 2 flatbeds and a loader. Wrote the farmer a $4,000 check.
turned out they travel quite a distance for good trees…Ca, Or, Nev, wherever.
Although likely to still be true, do you see someone with the capability to safely remove a tree in a neighborhood, with insurance, etc paying $1,000 to remove the tree. Maybe the homeowner can pay a tree service to remove the tree and stack the logs up, then the homeowner can contact a hardwoods company to come get it, and pay him accordingly.
There was another tree taken down at a nearby farm, near 12’ at the base, they had to quarter the main trunk to get it loaded. English Walnut. The company , not Calico, that did the removal paid the owner $10k. No cost to the owner. Crazy deal back then.
they left a huge branch section…ran out of trailer room…and Calico picked it up.
I have no idea if that sort of deal is done now days…doubt it. This was late 80s.
Hmmm.
Seems like a lot of gunstock and grip makers these days use a lot of South American woods.
Best I ever do is make nice chipper piles right where it drops
Calico had an extensive catalog of exotics back then. Now they stick with Claro Walnut and a few other domestics.
Looks like they MADE kids on it!

...and were sloppy about it as well... Anyone that would take a used mattress, I'd worry about anyway.

No making kids in this house any more. Too old for that.
