Whao! That's some heavy work. Have never worked with that large piece of wood. Everything I buy gets cut to 4-6' so that I can fit it in my car.
That is one thing my car is good for. It can carry 8' boards without a problem. When buying longer pieces, my pick-up truck gets the job.
There was an error in my previous post which has been corrected. A couple more images have been added.
