A few pieces of advice for what they are worth ...
1) Take your time, unless your woods are diseased or infested with a pest of some sort, you should be under no pressure to sell ... after all they are only going to get bigger with each passing year.
2) Talk to people, educate yourself, find other landowners who have had timber harvests as to their experience and who their logger was ...
3) Find out what your state laws are concerning timber. Each state is different. For example, in TX, timber is considered to belong to the surface fee owner and may be assigned as a property right, however a contract for sale is a better position for the landowner. Also in TX, nonpayment by a harvester after six months after a harvest is considered to be presumptive theft.
4) Note that conditions that you place on the sale will affect the price that you receive. However, you do need to consider what work you have to do after the harvest to replant or restore your woods for the next harvest.
5) With hardwoods, consider what effect the loss of the mast crop will have on the wildlife occupying your land.
6) Consider what you may need to do to increase the value of your standing timber. This is forest management. Does brush need to be cleared? Does the stand need to be thinned? What are the commercial species in your area?
7) Even though hardwoods are harvested by subsequent generations, consider replanting what hardwoods you do harvest rather than relying on natural regeneration.
