Can't find a slab of cherry like that unless you know somebody or grow your own. You invested a lot of time in it. If it wasn't personal, then $500-600.
There's a store in the Belltown section of Seattle selling slab furniture -- big pieces -- for tens of thousands. Finished but still rustic.
Personally, to use a piece of wood like that for "campfires" makes me ill.

I appreciate your high value . For the most part I learned a lot posting the thread and most of what I learned was positive and welcomed.
I invested only three hours. My five acres is in a development where it was logged into the 70's and there is a good bit of what I call sterile cherry (doesn't flower or fruit) This tree died about the time I moved here in 2002. I cut it down when it was dead but still upright and just put it under a tarp under a rooved structure I built. I didn't paraffin the ends or do anything to limit checks/cracks.
Thanks again

Cherry is quite valuable and expensive, especially in a slab that thick, which I think is very rare.
I called around and nobody really wanted it. I guess it isn't that valuable. I thought it was but have been proven wrong and there are a lot of furniture guys within 100 miles. I called ten and even focused more toward DC for higher $$. Also I see letting the wood age on my property no different than an old junk car sitting in someones driveway. Zero effort.
