I have made pallet lumber from walnut, and others that saw pallet lumber primarily have also. That being said, if I was in the logging bnsiness and had 500 walnut log to sell, I would not take them to a buyer whose primary business was pallet lumber.
Since I was not in the grade lumber business, I had to buy all logs to supply my markets. If my primary markets are pallet builders, then I must buy all logs at a price at which I can afford to sell the lumber cheap. If a walnut log gets into the mix, it will become pallet lumber.
As to the post below in which the poster said walnut did not make good lumber: Flatly wrong. What it does not make is good firewood. It makes very good lumber for all sorts of uses including framing for buildings.
