Thanks for the comments folks. These are water oak. I can only guess at what freight would be but a 3" slab this size weighs in the neighborhood of 600lbs.

I've just started work on a table using a water oak slab (different tree) and I intend to post pictures of the process here. To date I've only flattened them by hand or by drum sander. This one will be too big for that and I was considering building a rig similar to the one on the page BobL linked but decided to try something else first. If it works I'll post that too.
