Oak Saw Logs (?) - Any value? GL18

[TuscanPhil]

I had 5 oaks felled a few weeks ago (well early June 2021 to be exact) and I need to 'clear them up - be that selling the logs on, or turning them into firewood etc.  However, I'm not sure if they have any value to millers (or indeed if there re any nearby millers that would want to buy them) and if not, I'll just end up turning them into rings, then splitting / seasoning them and using them in my biomass boiler to heat my house.  Over to you lot to advise me on what best to do with them.  Oh, the last log was felled in Aug 2020 so has been down a year now.  If you want any additional details or photos, please ask.  All are located 'roadside with sufficient access and are in between Gloucester and Newent.

Standby for multiple posts - one 'log' to a post to try and keep ambiguity down.
