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.

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.. Tales of a Boatbuilder Apprentice

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 snipped-for-privacy@comcast.net if you're interested in helping. We have experienced people who have volunteered to cut it into slabs, etc.
Thanks for considering this. Glenn
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!
