Tree Removal vs Selling for Timber

Has anyone instead of removing trees, sold their trees for timber?

I've got over 50 trees that I'm looking to remove and instead of paying someone to cut them down I figure there's got to be a way to make money off them or at least break even.

Quote from @Henry Clark:

What are the sizes and types of trees?  Can you attach pictures?


unless its old growth redwood or doug fir there is not enough volume in 50 trees to make logging economical in 95% of the US..  a lot goes into log quality like folks are telling you..

And depends if its hardwood for furniture or trim. or dimensional lumber for building.
