I had a walnut tree cut down in my back yard. Most sawmills don't want anything to do with yard trees and they sure don't want to cut them down. A small time sawmill in my neighborhood took the tree after it was on the ground. The trunk was about 4 ft and there was about a good 14-16 log.
The guy wouldn't tell me how much he would give me untill he cut it up. Said the rings on a yard tree will be larger because it grows faster. The branches became firewood, but I didn't want to see the log turned into fire wood. I knew the guy and have bought ruff lumber off him many times. I told him take it and give me what he think it's worth after you cut it up.
A few months later, he sent me $300. That may not seem like a lot, but I was happy it didn't become firewood.
Then I had 5 16-18 ingh red oak logs, 8-10 ft. I took them to him and later he dropped me off a load of ruff red oak. Wish I would have gotten some walnut instead of the $300. George
