The picture taken inside my kiln may not look like much, but litteraly took me years to get to this point. The boards in the kiln came from a black walnut I planted as a seedling over 50 years ago. Shame to have taken the tree down, but it turned out to be too close to a power line as it got bigger. The boards shown standing on end are from the batch in the kiln, and are over 8 inches in width. Clear, except for the one obvious knot. Quite a few of these will end up as drawers in a dresser I'm building. I have about 6 acres of walnuts I planted in the '80s, not nearly the size of the above yet, but should yield some nice lumber long after I'm gone.
