Default Black cherry lumber

I have a Black cherry tree that needs to come down, it's a large tree with
a 28" diameter. I plan on doing it soon but was interested in the idea of
possibly having them cut into manageable lengths (still a lot of weight, I
know) and putting the raw timber on Craigslist.

Not just to recover some of the money taking it down but I hate to see it
go to waste. I'd use it for firewood before giving it away.

What do you guys think? Woodturners maybe?

It's the weight that concerns me -- I may not want to mess with it.


We salvaged a broken branch off a black cherry tree at my Grandfathers place
in Ohio one. It was not a huge branch, but my uncle used it to make some
curios and boxes very nice items. I have to say the dark heart it's a
unique and beautiful wood. I certainly wouldn't burn it.
