Do you want them sawed into boards, or to burn them in the wood stove?

Find a log yard and see what they'll pay if you can transport them. If you're depending on someone else transporting good luck. I sold a lot of logs but I had a logger cutting and transporting for me locally and he had enough loads to make it worthwhile. A couple of years ago I had some beautiful oak logs, some 2' across or more, and couldn't give them away so I cut them for firewood.

If you have a sawmill, have the skill to cut them to maximize yield and then can store them correctly to dry you could make some money. They will be narrow boards though. You won’t make much for the volume of work you’d need to do.

Id give you my time to cut them up for firewood.

They are worth what ever you are willing spend on making them what you want. Bought a Chinese G660 saw and Alaskan mill. Cost was $1200 to mill 42” wide slabs. I have used the slabs on 10 or more projects and counting. I have an oak that needs slabbed now. Had I bought the slabs it would have been 5-10k dollars. The tree was worth nothing where it fell.

I have gained useful knowledge and lots of wood for my investment. I have lost/apent $1200 foot that experience.

You are right to think you may have something of value.. I’ve always hated to cut a good saw log into something less so. You might check with any local furniture or cabinet makers.

Everybody always thinks their logs are worth more than firewood.

A question that a sawmill will ask is, "Where did the tree grow?" If it grew in somebody's yard, then, 50 years ago someone may have nailed two nails into the tree to hang a bracket for a clothesline. Over the years, the clothes line rotted away. The tree grew around the nails. The nails are now not visible. Saw blades get ruined when they hit big nails.

Sawmills want trees that grew in the forest, away from any houses.
