You might see if there is a buyer or broker nearby who would be interested in them.

I like them for firewood and BBQ's. They smell like 1/2-1/2 or Cherry blend pipe tobacco. Those small sizes will yield a lot of white growth wood and less heartwood than is practical. Would make great spindles, Pool Q's.

If you are in southern Wisconsin, try to contact the Deppeler wood shop. Jason deals in hardwood and he might have a use for them.

Once upon a time, before Jason took over the wood shop they had a market for basswood too. He still might if it's enough to be worth it.

Had about a 14" DBH log I had some 6/4 planks center cut out of. Made this. I call it a "Shoe Bench" . It stands about 3 " taller than a chair. Works good for taking shoes on and off.

Cherry is a premium furniture wood. Cherry is stronger and tougher than oak. Awhile back I noticed on Ebay a few cherry boards were selling for surprising prices. If I had those logs I would try to find a local mill and have them sawn into boards . Then I would store them in an attic or barn for a few years while I planned what projects to use them for. If you didn't want to use them yourself there are always wood workers looking for dry cherry lumber. This would be a good plan ^. I sure wouldn't burn it if I had it.

About half of my firewood every season is Cherry.
