We load, mill, sticker, and stack this claro walnut log. It is a variation of black walnut and this one is almost 12 ft long and 49 inches at the crotch section. This was a branch from a dying walnut we were able to locally salvage.
We will air dry the wood at roughly a year of time for every inch of thickness and eventually kiln dry the wood to bring it to it's final moisture content.
