Wow I would love to have that lumber. Take it to a mill and see if they could cut it for you.

I posted them on craigslist for 2 months and no calls. that stump has got to go 2 tons or more all my 100 hp tractor will pick up. thought people used them for gun stocks and turning bowls?

Your black walnut could be useful to a gun stocker.   I would suggest checking with the fellows over on the Double Gun bulletin board.  Someone there should know.

Get a bottle of tightbond3 glue and coat the end , to help seal it up and stop it from splitting

That stump has got to have some nice figure in its grain
