Very nice.  Which type of cedar are they?

 

 I’m afraid selling them is like selling anything.  You need to invest time and effort and money to find out what they might be worth, then more time effort and money making sure you dry and store the slabs properly, then more time effort and money putting the word around of what you have on offer.

 

 Asking on here is a start, but there are already many people on here trying to sell such slabs.  
 

If you list them with good photos on Facebook marketplace or eBay you may get takers, but are you willing to ship them to customers?

Woodworking forums is a good place to sell but mostly to long term members. I have sold a lot of slab's that way. You can cut to order exactly what is required.

Thanks guys for the advise, I've got them up on Facebook and i'll get round to ebay. First hurdle for me was learning how to cut them. No the arbours task of selling and/or making tables.
