Looking for a guy with Saw Mill to cut oak slabs from a large fallena oak

Hello

 

Just joined the group so I hope I can post this here, if not id appreciate being shown where is appropriate. Ok so a large old oak has fallen over the winter on my land, I'm looking to hire an experienced saw mill guy to cut through the main trunk to create oak slabs for a relative to make table tops....the tree is large the main trunk where im looking fot the  cuts is will be  9-10ft in length, diameter, of the trunk is 9ft and the trunk is  28-32" in width. 32" depth. The cuts will be 2 or 3" thickness. I myself only use a 54cc for general logging and ha e ZERO milling experience. I'm based in North Wales, any help advice etc. Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up on that site unfortunately there is none around north Wales/ north West.

I’m not sure of any mills nearby but Tegid from supersharp might be a good shout for info. I know some lads in Barmouth who run some 4x4 Lorrie’s/mogs with hiabs who can get stuff out of most places, which might make it easier to take to a mill 🤷‍♂️. A bandsaw would be best but that size log is easily done in a day with a good chainsaw mill set up. I’d not go less than 3” in fact I’d probably go thicker for now especially the centre slab. They ain’t gonna be light to shift mind and will take a good while to dry. Stick a pic of the log up if you get the chance. 
Good luck

Why not post a couple of pictures of the log here?  Some advice may be given about the viability of milling.  Some of it might even be helpful…
