Odd nut

[Thin Blue]

Anyone use the wood of this nut tree?

 

[DivotMaker]

I have not.  Be interesting to see who has!

My first thought was a peach pit, but then was thinking butternut.

You got it, Butternut also known as White Walnut.  ;D

Seem to be few and far between here. I have two old, old trees here in South Central Indiana.

Have never tried the wood in a smoker.

Thanks for the lesson - I had no idea what it was! ???  Not sure we have white walnuts (butternuts) in Arkansas.  Lots of black walnut, though.

Yeah, butternut, quite common in this area.

 

[DivotMaker]

Yep, looks like it's common north of me, as seen in the about.com pic.  Black walnut is in Arkansas, but not butternut.

If I had those trees I would sell them for wood carving
