A neighbor of mine had a 4' diameter oak tree taken down and there are 1' thick slabs of the base of the tree left behind. She says I can have the slabs, if I can move them. They are too big and heavy for me to move (400-500 lbs each) or cut myself (~18" chainsaw bar). I'm interested in two 3-4" thick slabs of one of the sections to make tables.
I've tried to get in touch with scsmith since I know he can handle this size log, but he seems to be out of town. Anyone else near Cary have a portable mill like this that can cut a 48" slab? I am willing to pay to have the slabs cut if the rest of the wood is not payment enough.
If there is no with a sawmill near by, anyone with a chainsaw that can handle cutting these down to thinner, human movable sizes? I figure I can flatten the pieces with a router jig, if I can get them to my garage.
This is the one I want two slabs from.
There are enough to share.
