It's an interior wood, rots easy outdoors.
Cut it thick 2-3".
If you try 1" planks, you will spend half the day with a file in your hand.
Turn the oiler all the way up too.

Left the tree butt for now as it was too much to tackle on my own. tried one of the two logs which are 19-20 inch in diameter.

the tree had two main stem and short but thick butt some something like Y shape.

the tree is wind blown at a very steep slope. I thought if I cut the logs before milling it will go dawn the slope and will never be able to recover it. 

I have decided to mill it using a 10 foot ladder  while log still attached to the rest of the tree, once each slab milled it has to be cut individually from the rest of the tree. I have used a DIY winch other wise it would have been impossible because I was pushing the saw against slope.

I went for 2.5 inch thickness.

each slap is about 9 feet long.
