Yew tree trunk - need to sell but how much?!

Hi there,
I have never posted on this board, (usually in OS) before so apologies if this is not in the right place.
Last year we had three very large yew trees taken down (with full permission of the conservation dept at the council!) and 2 were chopped into rings for firewood but the other was left whole.
We have been told that woodturners like to buy large seasoned pieces which this will be by the summer.
But - we have no idea how much to ask for, and how to sell it. Should we use ebay? the post office window?
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!

Maybe you could put an advert in here?

I have no idea about cost though. But DH's godfather is a woodturner and he made some lovely things for us for our wedding.
Perhaps you can ask the person to make you something nice for the house as part payment!0 -

Thank you for pointing out what should be blindingly obvious!!! Thats a great idea. We had thought about that actually, getting something made. Maybe a little seat for my DD to use in the garden etc...
Thanks for your help. AG0
