Through-‘n-through milling of Black Walnut (Juglans nigra)
Shrinkage in Black Walnut is low, it does not have prominent ray cells and growth stresses are not a problem so I can mill it the easy way on my Norwood LM36 portable sawmill. After milling the timber is stickered and strapped back in log form for air-drying. This log is from a 44-year-old plantation.
I talk in detail about sawing patterns in my new book: "Heartwood: The art and science of growing trees for conservation and profit" by Rowan Reid. see www.agroforestry.net.au.
