These slabs are only a portion of a huge white oak that I milled last year using my Granberg chainsaw mill equipped with a Stihl 090 powerhead. I had to get them out of the woods and off the trailer, so not all the wood was stacked properly. I'm just now getting around to dealing with them. With most things I do.....I'm on my own. This wood is no different. I don't know if lighter is the right word, but I think they are not as heavy as they were a year ago when I first milled them....but still feel like slabs of concrete, just a lighter variety. I'm moving them from down in the woods over to my new to me barn on the land that I bought (Ranch house renovation on my other channel) I'll end up stacking these alongside the other slabs on the concrete pad beside the tobacco drying unit. The key to stacking slabs is keeping them flat and making sure they have good air flow to allow for drying. My method is a row of cinder blocks, then 4X4's across them long ways, then short 4X4's perpendicular, then a non treated spacer. The stack goes on that, with stickers between for air flow. The stack is strapped together to prevent unwanted movement and for safety then topped with roofing tin.
