Is it too late to mill this?

[Chainsaw newbie]

About a year ago I cut down a wild Cherry in my backyard with the intention of milling it. I cut it into 6, 8 foot logs, and sealed all of the endgrain with several coats of titebond. Since that day (10 months ago), it has been sitting outside covered with a tarp. I elevated it off the ground with several pieces of firewood so it's unlikely it's touching the ground anywhere. Did I screw up by leaving it so long without milling it? When I have it milled is it likely to have any rot or damage, or am I over reacting? For reference, I am likely to use this for small projects, cutting boards, coasters etc. Any responses are welcomed, I'm looking for some advice as I have never milled before. On that note, if anyone has a suggestion of someone in New Hampshire or even Massachusetts that could mill this for cheap, I would appreciate the suggestions. I could easily fit this in a Pickup truck and drive it to them in a few trips.

You may be ok. I'd be more worried about the tarp trapping moisture than the time. 

Throw it up on the mill and see what you get.

Agreed - my guess is you lost some sapwood, but it's Cherry and you  really don't want the sapwood anyway.

Without pictures of the wood there is no way to give a good response. You have the wood so put a saw to it and you will find out quick enough.

Pictures....

I would cut the ends off and look at what's there. That should tell you the condition of the logs.

Prolly nothing wrong with the logs. Cherry heartwood is decay resistant and is often still good after the sapwood has rotted off(as long as it's not pin cherry).
Where in NH are you? I might be able to mill it here for you.

I can upload pictures the next time I head up there. The logs currently in the Tamworth area of NH, but I'm happy to drive them to wherever! How much would you charge?

I've milled cherry that I've had laying around longer than that and I didn't have it covered.  Sapwood was bad.  The rest was good.

Without seeing the logs I can only tell you I will charge 70 bux an hour plus 30 bux each blade milled here on my lt40 hd.
As a wag it prolly will take 2 hrs.
Plus maybe a board or two!

Thanks for everyone's input, I appreciate it!! Beav, where are you, and when could you mill this?(sooner the better for me)

A friendly reminder to please read the rules about commerce and the FF.  Nothing at all wrong with this, but there is an honor system of 5% due to the FF for business which comes about as a result of otherwise impossible connections being made.

I bet it is still good. Getting it up off the ground is a waste of time for sawlogs. Contact with the ground during the first year anyhow [ this should not happen] keeps the green wood cooler and wetter. People don't understand that sawn lumber wants to be dried and logs want to be wet and cold. This is why many sawmills water their logs in warm weather.
