Big old beech grind the other day just before I downed tools due to covid. A solid 6-7hrs of grinding and carting our spoil by hand to get it ready for the mini digger to tear up the old lawn and any remaining roots.
I know I've asked you about his before but when you do nice big trees like that I'd be up for buying any stuff I could slab and dry (obviously not too much but really nice and unusual ones)
Unfortunately, you'd be better off seasoning it in sections of trunk before planking it at your friendly local sawmill. Cross sections tend to split like buggery unless seasoned first.
