   Its very rare that anyone needs a board that long. Its just the way it comes from the mill, and isn't rare or valuable. Most people that buy a piece of lumber like that would cut it in half (or so) to get it home.

   The width isn't particularly rare, either. Many lumberyards charge a little extra for bo cards past a certain width. At my local yard they charge s little more for boards over 9 inches wide.

   What would make the lumber more valuable is if it's straight, clear of knots, and without much sapwood. Otherwise it isn't very remarkable.

   This would be most valuable for anyone doing architectural millwork. It could be used for columns, box beams, moulding, soffits, etc.. It's usually a special order for anything that wide and that long. Maybe contact a sash and door or architectural millwork shop and see if they're interested? Where are you located? If you're in Southern California, I would be interested!

   There's a whole shitload of projects waiting in 16' of wood. I'd be jealous if I worked with the darker woods.

   Not knowing about knots, defects, bug damage, etc, you have some valuable lumber there. It is not easy to find walnut in that width nowadays.

   You've got several $1000 worth of lumber there.

   @$6/bf a 12" wide board would be worth about $100.
