Even with good grafting techniques, the process will take 10 years to produce a substantial "center" trunk. I would run ready rod through the two trunks about 20 inches above the crotch, and call it good. Pull the two trunks together with a ratchet strap five feet above the crotch. Then use a long 1/2" auger bit to go through both trunks about 20" above the crotch. Using 9/16 ready rod, and two nuts jambed together, screw the rod into the 1/2" hole and you are done. If alignment is a problem, make a tab for each of two ready rod pieces and bolt them together in the crotch. I would ask a nursery for appropriate fungicide for the walnuts. JimN
