Cut split stack, or sell to mill?

[Omaha419]

I bought 2 1/2 acres in West Virginia, and had a house built. Told the contractor to save all the trees for me. The majority of it is black cherry or wild cherry, with some Locust, and Ash. Should I cut it up for firewood or is any of the stuff worth anything to someone with a mill?

looks like some might be good for a mill, but in reality looks like most of it is pulp or fire wood, whichever is paying better.

I figured. Thanks.

Timing is everything,

Your situation may be entirely different, but here in NE CT if there's enough for a couple grapple loads, and the access is decent for the log truck, the mulch companies are paying premium prices this time of year for loads of culls and firewood. Getting treelength firewood delivered this time of year is tough at best, not to mention expensive as the only way to get loads delivered is to pay the same, or more than the mulch guys.

Take Care

What species is that in the middle of the bottom picture? Looks like diamond willow from here. If it is, it with have a heart the color of cherry.
I once sold the ugliest pile of rotten, randon length black walnut that was in a pile near a landing I had that some tree ape took down years prior.
Anyway, my Taiwanese veneer buyer wanted it and offered 1$/ft., I couldn't say yes fast enough.
How she scaled it, I have no idea. Turned out she payed me for 800 some odd feet. The woodlot owner was tickled pink to get rid of it, plus 400$ US!
