I have a Black cherry tree that needs to come down


As others have said, mill the trunk into boards, but also cut the limb forks for turners. Search for a turner's guild in your area. A fork is desirable because it will have some figuring, more so than straight lengths. Along any straight lengths, any significant blemishes, showing on the surface, may have figured wood on the inside, also. If you are to dig up the root ball, that wood is figured.
