how to harvest my fruit wood?

I have some trees which sould make nice lumber, an old pecan, plum, pear, walnut, etc, but don't know how to go about it. Do I cut them, take them directly to a sawmill? Or store until dry? How long? Under what conditions? Thanks for any info.

native fruit tree

I am planning before the end of the year to plant some fruit trees. My intent would be to use native trees to NC; I would prefer not using hybrid trees. Does anybody have suggestion on nurseries that may be able to supply native tree?
