What an inspiring and educational evening with Earl Spitsnogle. His farm has produced over 20,000 board foot of this beautiful lumber. Stop in to the JCMF office to check it out if you haven't seen it firsthand. According to Earl, this black walnut can be harvested from NE east to PA but Nebraska is known to have the "cream of the crop" as you would say. Our blowing winds and harsh winters make the wood extremely strong, and some trees are more than 200 years old!! Thanks Earl for sharing your wealth of information with us.
