I just pulled out a 65 year old Walnut Tree from our walnut orchard. We
have the stump, made of black walnut, sitting next to house. Where can
I get someone to cut it up into planks so as to be able to make a fire
mantle out of it?
We live in the Central Valley of California, near Stockton.
Thanks for any info.

1) look for a sawmill in the yellow pages. I'd look for wood
supplier, then go from there.
2) ask around. Got to be a local woodworker's club in/around
Stockton. Someone might know someone whose got a mill.
3) Think about transporting it to a mill. Someone in our
woodworking class said there was a BIG (as in dollars) when
he trucked over his red eucaleptus (sp) trunk to a mill
vs someone coming out to carry it. He put it in his truck
it was over 8ft long.
4) put an ad in Craig's list (got to be local one, no?,
for your area)
5) all else fails - put in on eBay!

Try posting a notice in the sawmill area of the Forestry Forum.

OR
Go to woodmizer's website; I believe they still have a regional
contact list for putting people together with owners of their
portable sawmills.
Good luck.
