Walnut is a lovely wood for the uses that you mention & also for guitars too. I don't know what the situation is like selling wet unseasoned timber though, as it's such a big risk. Will it season well or not...
I wouldn't have thought a clean up bill would be that high? I'd get my chainsaw out & work through it at my leisure, getting further help as needed.
However that looks pretty rotten, so I doubt there's going to be much value in it.
IIRC, he's done similar before.
If it’s blown down then it’s probably structurally unsound, and the wood won’t have much value. Is it rotten up the centre? If it’s sound then there could be a few guitar necks and bodies in that trunk once it’s seasoned.
give the guys at Brook a ring
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
But if its too far for them, they may have contacts for outside of London.. If its in London definitely call them they work with a lot of the London councils and have won awards for what they do.
Bruce is the boss.. A good man doing great work.

If you are outside of London just find a local timber yard.. They will either be able to do it or will probably know someone who can.

He is often frustrated the English grown walnut is just not as valuable as comparable wood from other countries, even when its the same species... this is very true for rifle stocks

He does look good for his age, and going for 300 years without sun light.
