Ken,
You have any normal sized trees in NC? :D

Does your slabber have a power feed?

I assume that walnut is stacked in your new garage.  Have you told us about the new garage yet?

Here are some of the pics of the cherry I slabbed. Picked up another 40" Black walnut yesterday and looking at another large one about 2 hours from where I am at.  The slabs of this black cherry is 22"-25" wide and 6/4 thick and had some nice color and is already to darken considerably.

  Nice job, nice wood.  8)
