    Here is some pix of the Cherry. Eugene was correct about cherry rotting from the inside. One log looks like is has rot. But a few of them look ok.
    Here is the sizes
    8'5" long 25" wide
    13'8" long 26" wide (34" at trunk)
    18' long 20" wide
    10'8" long 27" wide (30" at bottom)
    8' long 15" wide

    edit...don't know why the pix are turned around....

    Jack, Just be careful!! Recommend You listen to Eugene and at very least do a core mid-point of the 18'. The guy left it way to long.

    And it looks like it has fungus in it now... probably does not have value to you. Probably will be checked and rotting and unpleasant.

    Jack it has started to rot Most will be unusable. You may get a few spalted boards but cheery gets punky real fast. those would have been good logs to cut ... they have been down for quite sometime. longer that two years.
