I’ve always been very sceptical of the slabbing job. There’s a constant flow of folks going too make their fortune out of it around here. They come, buy the timber from us, slab it up and 6 months later go bust. We’ve got slabbing saws here but dad says it’s not a cost effective use of time. Same with splitting logs for firewood. It’s alright when you have nothing else to do but when you work it out it pays less per hour than farming! Unless you spend thousands on a decent firewood processing plant. In which case you are working the first few years just too pay for that.
