Pardon the hijack, but I need some timber guy advice. Hope yAll see this/know what's up.

Is it true that very old/big black walnut trees are worth a bunch of money? Had this discussion today with a lady that has one, needs cutting, and we'd both heard that over the years? Is there a local market for this type of thing ?

Also, same question regarding old growth pine to a sawmill. I know that the Alford Mill in Coushatta is always on the lookout for trees to make "yellowwood"/heart pine floors.

This lady/co worker just bought this land, has the walnut tree, and 4 huge pines, and all need to go. Are 4 trees worth a sawmills time (in the case of the pine). What about one big ol black walnut?

To whom does one place a call on the walnut? I'd assume you'd just call a sawmill on the pine?
