When I inquired a few years ago a factory guy around Kitchener first asked me if there were any splits in the trunks. As you know, most walnuts have radial splits out from a central core. He didn't want any splits because his mill slices veneer off a roll.

He further asked me to calculate the cost of trucking to his mill against the higher value of the logs as veneer.

He suggested that I cut the logs up and sell the lumber for what I could get for it locally. This worked pretty well. Walnut goes quite nicely on wooden boats, and its scarcity in Eastern Ontario and obvious quality allows me to price it just above imported mahogany.
