I would store them someplace where they could dry a bit before having them cut into dimensional lumber. This would also give you time to decided what you want to do with them. If you decide to keep them I would suggest finding a mill with a band saw since you have smaller logs. Band saws have a finer cut so less waste and more lumber. Yes cherry is also great for smoking, but I would use some of the larger branches you cut off for that instead of the nice logs.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I got my hands on a cherry blank or two for turning powder horn base plugs on my lathe.

Thanks for all of the replies. I will be taking pictures as well as measurements tomorrow to post on Craigslist. There are also a few Amish in my area I may talk to as well.

Made this.


I call it a "Shoe Bench" .
It stands about 3 " taller than a chair. Works good for taking shoes on and off.


That is beautiful.

I've been thinking of putting something similar in my entryway by the front door for the same purpose you stated.

Do not cut them into firewood. Follow the advice of others and bring them inside to season them and view them as an investment as someone will want them sooner or later.
If you want to sell them, check online for board foot price for cherry as all of that is like gold now, and there are always people looking for quality wood.
As you mentioned burl wood, that is the prize of wall wood and commands the premiums as it produces the most beautiful patterns for table tops.
It may take some time to get your price, but you will get it eventually, but please do not burn this wood as there is enough other wood out there of low quality and certain hardwoods deserve to be made into furniture to be enjoyed for hundreds of years.
