Oak Trunk - Mobile sawmill required

Looking for advice really...

 

I recently managed to haul a couple of Oak trunks back to my yard and I am considering whittling some form of DIY dining table/bench for the garden. Basically my enquiry is whether a mobile sawmill might be interested and if so how much is it likely to cost (vs buying a similar sized ready cut slab of timber). I have plenty of log timber so fancied putting it to use some other way.

 

The larger/straighter (pictured) of the two is approx. 1m diameter and 2.5m long the other probably the same length and slightly thinner ranging from 0.7-1m. There is good vehicular access into my yard which is in south Gloucestershire just off the m4 Junc 18.

 

I guess I would want slabs about 75mm thick, not too heavy but thick enough to prevent warping too dramatically. I would bow to those with a greater level of knowledge, it may be completely impractical just an idea at this stage so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers gents
