Need to tear down old sheds in N. IL--Wood worth anything?

A match would be easy, but both sheds are near woods and other structures.

As for walnut, it has gone through phases as to its popularity. I am not sure what walnut timber is selling for now. I just know when I was a kid, my dad always kept walnut lumber on hand. We built calf troughs, gates, little bit of everything out of walnut. It lasts good.
There is a little walk through gate down by the pump house that I am sure is 40+ years old.

I had a local farmer once tell me he was going to burn down an old shed. He said I could have the siding, come to find out it was sided with walnut. That was 30 years ago, and I still have some of it. Made some nice picture frames.

Couple years ago I helped a friend with his house. We pulled off all the cedar siding and numbered it. With the siding off he rewired the outside walls then filled them with insulation. On a Friday I would come back and help him run the siding though a planer to remove all the old paint then nailed it back up. Day to take it off (one side at a time) he rewired the side for a week and planed it in a day and a day to put it back up. Beat the *&^% out of hand scraping the old paint off. The newly planed siding soaked up the oil base primer and the paint looks great 5 years later.

In the end he only bought a few new peices of cedar siding to replace what we broke pulling it off. It was a whole summer project for him but the final product was well worth the effort.
