Veneer is a funny thing... They pay big money for the perfect stick, but they don't apy buggerall for much of anything else.
I don't know what the walnut prices range in, but the hard maple and birch that we've sold can go as high as $ 3000 MBF.
The devil with those things is defects. Branches are defects. Knots, lesions, bumps, etc are generally considered defects. If these defects are on the same side (face) of the log going down the length of it, one or two or three in a row are generally counted as ONE defect... but the general idea is that you need 2 or more clear faces, which is also dependant on diameter. Defects and diameter determine price.
So.... you could put those trees on the ground and find that there's many many defects on them in spite of the fact that they have no limbs for 35-40 feet. Now you've got a big tree that's going for mabey a sawlog or firewood.
Get more information first. Get someone knowledgeable to look at the trees to ascertain what grade they might make before you cut them.
I'd also suspect that there's an equal chance that they could be worth 2-3 times as much as you've been offered as there is that they're worth nothing.
I'm guessing that if they're worth firewood prices you'd just as soon look at them where they're at... so find someone that know what they're talking about to look at them first.
