Price will depend on how much milling she does to the wood. Raw trunks are usually the best way to sell if you don't have access to a sawmill to turn the trunk into planks.
Right now there is a demand for "live edge" table planks (2 to 3 inches thick and with the bark still on the edges of the planks) Wood like that will bring around 25 dollars per board foot.
If there is a luthier in her area, she would probably get the best price from them. (I have paid 35 dollars a running foot for fresh felled black walnut that was destined for guitar backs and sides) (prepared sets can go for up to 1200 dollars if there is highly figured grain)
