Old Growth Douglas Fir Slabbing

Here are some cool photos of slabs cut from a 375-year-old Douglas Fir. July 15, 2012

Question
A buddy came over and helped me cut five slabs today. The tree is over 375 years old, lots of pitch inclusions (you can see the cracks opening up), but it also has 18 growth rings per inch. The owner will make a couple of live edge dining room tables.
