Unfortunately 24" isn't large enough to interest a mill... it would yield
very little heartwood after rough milling. This doesn't preclude a home
woodworking enthusiast from using it, of course...

no real damage and I spent 3 hours with a chain saw freeing the car.

a big
24" diameter black walnut that is down by the river. That one will take

cut up, but it will be enough fire wood for 3 years.
Some of our neighbors didn't fare as well and one has a big tree

into their house. But I guess we are lucky, supposably the storm had
lost
most
of it's steam by the time it got here.

Black Walnut will burn, but its value is in the wood. Can you have it
cut into saw boards, and if you don't want to make anything from it, you
can sell the wood at a good price.
