Wow, some stunning wood especially the second photo.  Any plans for it?

Some of the slabs will go up on craigs list soon the rest will go to furniture projects as I pick them up

Do you have a kiln?  Those suckers will take years to air dry.

The tree had been dead for about 5 years.  The fresh cuts are at about 20% moisture now. I am planing on building a kiln in the next couple years though. Im using enough wood it would pay for its self in about a year.
