I live near Stockton, CA and have a 60' coastal redwood on my property
(about 2.5 foot diameter at the base). It's beautiful, but we
unfortunately have to cut it down. It's gotten too large for our lot.
I was wondering if there would normally be any interest in buying the
wood. How would I go about selling it? TIA.

Check out some of the urban lumber services. They will cut it and haul it
away, sometimes they will even pony up a few bucks!

Frank,
We have a Boy Scout project for the John Muir National Monument in
Martinez, CA, which could sure use some of the redwood.
email me privately at [email protected] if you're interested in helping.
We have experienced people who have volunteered to cut it into slabs, etc.
Thanks for considering this.

Go to the WOODMIZER web site and you should fine the info you need
there.
One word of caution. Mosts loggers are loath to work on Urban trees.
All sorts of surprises may be uncovered WITH the saw blade ie: nails,
wire etc..
