    Because you guys accumulate so much sawdust along that one sawmill length, I envision two or three heavy duty canvas tarps laying flat with large grommets all the way around their edge. The sawdust collects on top of these canvas tarps. Rigging with small shackles allows you to lift up the entire load and then dump it all at the sawdust pile with a minimum amount of shoveling. But that stacked lumber needs to be out of the way so you can make these pics from the side.

      it seems to me some of that thicker slab oak could make smaller boards for craftsmen/hobby woodworkers to use in their projects. it seems a shame to burn it for firewood. a guy with a decent bandsaw could rip them down to useable boards. I often buy from Woodcraft's cut-off/scrap bins,to get cheap hardwood for small projects. you can do a lot with glue-ups,too. Heck,a lot of people grab up old shipping pallets for the wood,make some really nice projects from it. Nail holes and all.
