UTILIZATION OF BLACK WALNUT. 
75 
1919 only about 25 per cent of the total lumber output was exported, 
and about 95 per cent of this went to the British Isles and to parts 
of Denmark and Sweden. The greatest demand for both logs and 
lumber before this had been from Germany. There is little demand 
from either France or Italy. According to these data the total ex- 
portation of walnut logs and lumber in 1912 amounted to about 43 
million board feet, lumber measure.

1 None exported for the year 1918. 
Data are not available on the export of walnut veneer. It is said 
that foreign countries generally manufacture their own veneer from 
the logs. On account of the extensive use of carved work thin 
lumber five-eighths and three- fourths inch thick largely takes the 
place of veneer in Europe. 
Walnut logs have always been in great demand from foreign 
countries, especially from Germany. There is hardly any section 
throughout the walnut area of the United States from which the 
choice walnut timber has not been taken, often hauled long distances, 
and shipped to Germany, usually to Hamburg. Thence it was re- 
distributed in the form of logs, veneer, or lumber, largely to Russia, 
Poland, Austria, and Scandinavia. This timber was used chiefly 
for furniture, walnut furniture being well liked in those countries. 
A large part of the shipments to England also was reshipped to 
Germany. Canada, Mexico, South America, and South Africa are 
promising markets for this timber.
