  Green Cherry lumber HELP

Greetings all;

After saving a bunch of Big old Cherry (fine Virginia ones) Logs I had aportable wood Mizer come and saw a bunch into some really pretty Boards. The new John Deere 790 with 419 FEL really helped. I am never ceasing to be amazed at what this "Little Tractor" can pick up and push and drag. I am talking dragging 35 foot 20 inch logs in 1st High with no problem. The front end loader lifts them enough to get the chain under and is a real time saver moving the boards as they are cut and loaded on the FEL to be stacked about thirty yards away.
The saw guy told me he was going to tell his wife to call and blame me when he buys a 790. Heh Heh. In any case now I am having a difficult time finding a buyer for this green Cherry. Is $3 a board foot too much? Is $2 too little? Can some one please Help this Green Cherry Lumber guy with some info and ideas how to market this stuff? Any and all help will be appreciated.

  Green Cherry lumber HELP

Hey Daves tractor
I was just reading a wood working magazine, "WOOD" by Better home and gardens that has an article about regional woods. The article spoke about nut bearing trees "Hickory and Pecan" having desirable wood working characteristics so if the wood has good color and can be worked without tearing and doesnt have a lot of bark inclusions and flaws it could be of some value. Is the wood a hardwood? Will it dull tools? Does it cure well? Depending on the answers I am sure some one would want to at least try it. If you have it milled let me know as I would be curiuos to try a couple of the boards as a a Neophyte wood worker. Thanks.
Tracer
