Sounds like fun! How about I secure the necessary permits and You,
Larry and Gunner get to watch in exchange for polishing the resulting
pieces to a mirror finish. Sound like fair deal? ;-)

ACTUALLY... that brought up an idea. How about feather and wedge
splitting, followed by grinding? You're not going to get a "mirror
finish" with saw cutting, anyway.

You could split, mill with carbide to a flat surface (light cuts, lest
you yank out pieces of the iron), and polish on a jeweler's lap.
