Have you ever slabbed a large sycamore with your Lucas and was the result worth it?
I have a four and a half foot wide trunk twelve feet long, nice and straight with no knots and was debating whether to try and make some natural edged tables from it to try out my new planer and sander on the Lucas Model 8 after slabbing it at three inches thick.
Found it. Not a great photo but a nice looking board20200301_151407.jpeg

How long did you have to season it for and was there much warping?  Looks great by the way!
Left it about 18 months on the ground to start it spalting a bit. Then milled it and seasoned for about 2.5 years I think. Did two trees. Stayed pretty flat but at the widest the biggest was only just over two foot.
