I recently split and stacked about a face cord of black walnut. I stacked it very near the road in front of my house. When driving up today, I actually smelled the walnut sweet smell. Do you think anyone else knows what it is. You can't see the wood from the street because of trees.
Wonder if anyone else knows

My wife trained one of our shih tsus to find explosives. It's his favorite game (have to pick him up to scan drawers- pretty hillarious).
Anyway- I should retrain him on walnut. I should get another cone like he had for his "big boy" operation to concentrate the vapors.

How does black walnut burn? Does it take a while to season? I have a black walnut in my yard that I really want to take down. I plan on keeping the wood. I'm just wondering what to expect. I guess I can look forward to a nice aroma.

Walnut is not a great firewood, maybe a good shoulder season fuel, but I wouldn't depend on it for real cold weather. Although free wood is always great firewood!
If you know any woodworkers/woodturners they may be interested in some of it.

We both worked for a company that made explosives screening devices, so small samples for scent were no issue. I shoot black powder too. One time he didn't find the vial of BP we had hidden (one that I keep in my hunting bag for a reload), and later that evening we found him in my office sitting and grumbling at where put it. LOL
