Big old Oak to be milled but what cuts???

Hi all,
thanks for replies, so is quartersawn what most would do? 
 it will definitely make shifting it all out easier and will it make locating the possible bit of metal easier. what lengths would you cut from the 4.8m total, 2 x 2.4m or 2 different lengths
still keen for a few big slabs but worried about moving them!
cheers jo
 
 

Personally I'd go 2x 2.4 and slab it.
Most people don't know what quarter sawn means, let alone want to buy it.
Shame as its the best.

It’s bloody heavy but 2.5 or 3 “ at least you can re saw later or have some thing to play with and it’s summer apparently so it won’t distort as much
