I just found out my buddy with a Lucas mill has a slabber.  We might use it to cut cookies off my big cypress log.  I would do this by cutting off 3-4 feet of large end of log.  Then stand it upright to "slab" off each cookie.  The chainsaw I used to cut the first cookie worked ok but i am concerned about wasting too much wood when I try to level the dry cookies.

That is why I want to know how wide a Lucas slabber cuts.  Or, are there different lengths?
My friend has never used it and didn't know.  Thanks.

thanks for the space.

I did what I should have before posting.  I called Baileys/Lucas,and they had an answer.

Six inch mills take 50 inch slabber.

Bigger mills take the 60 inch slabber.

Thanks anyway.
