I have a black walnut crotch from a tree that was cut down just over a
year ago. I'm guessing some here, but its about 4 feet tall and
around 30 inches at the top of the y. It has spent most of the last
year under a tarp. Any idea what something like this is worth? Or
who to talk to about selling it? I'm located in Eastern CT. Thanks!

You might put it on the rec.crafts.woodturning group and see if anyone wants
it. Crotch wood, even with some defects is amazing for bowls and trays.

Amen.
It might be worth something to someone that had the capability to saw
it into usable material. But without the proper care (the high tech
tarp cover isn't) it is probably just a log of firewood.
If you feel like your crotch is a real treasure (did anyone else hear
that rimshot?) you should cut it into bowl blanks yourself, seal them,
then sell them on ebay.

"I have a black walnut crotch"
Wasn't that a famous line from a Dirty Harry movie? Oh never mind, it
was the porno version.

Sorry, Tom. Black walnut isn't really good for much of anything. Your best
bet is to just throw it out. I tell you what, though. I'm going to be in
CT next month. I'd drop by with a trailer and dispose of it for you.
That's just the kind of nice guy that I am.

That isn't fair. Nobody has the good stuff quite like Baker. You KNOW
it's been well cared for.

Unless you did something to keep it from drying and splitting, is it is
probably worthless.
