I've got a couple walnut trees in my backyard that I'm thinking about cutting down cuz they're a pain in the ass. But walnut lumber is expensive so I'd like to find a place that can mill and dry them out for me so I can use it for something in the future

I've googled and found a few places but I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone had any good recs for places before I start calling around.

Why do you hate me, Sammich?

My understanding is that they typically don't want to do it because any nails

they drop hundreds of walnuts each week

they're right on the property line so they drop on my neighbors property also, squirrels like to "hide" them up in the undercarriage of my neighbor's cars, they create tripping hazards, potentially damage my lawnmower if I miss any before mowing, etc.

and the branches currently overhang both my house and my neighbor's garage, so when walnuts drop they potentially damage the roof(s). I've hired a crew to cut those branches back but it's too much of a PITA to keep dealing with them.

I'll plant some other tree(s) that aren't so difficult to replace them.

I would have only been a little surprised that somebody had made that joke against you before
