Ihave access to some 20to 25 yr old black walnut that has been airdrying under a shed for 20 yrs or more.It was cut into 1in thick or 2in thick by 10 wide boards,it is a lot of furniture grade wood but will sell for calls.4 dollars a running foot.also lots of beautiful cedar cut and air dried.wood is in siler city nc .call me if interested.tony 405 818 9221.
Air dried wood of that age will likely be very hard. I got some walnut offcuts from Ben Pearson Jr. , son of archery pioneer Ben Pearson. This stuff has been drying for 30+ years and requires me to sharpen my tools repeatedly while turning... seriously!
Your wood will likely make some good sounding calls, and the price is not unreasonable if there is some decent grain/coloration.
