You mean they're already firewood. Trying to turn old logs into
timber is a waste of time and effort - you should have done this when
you felled them, or at least submerged them in a pond until you could.

and I want to make myself an attachment
for my chainsaw to slab them into lumber.

I hate these things. They're OK for making square beams, but they're
a terrible way to cut boards. Nasty to use, lots of waste in the
kerfs.

USE A RIP CHAIN !!!

Does anyone have any pictures/drawings/suggestions on how to make
such an attachment ?

Nope. If I did have, I wouldn't admit to it. No way I want to increase
the number of these things in circulation.

The saw I will be using is a STIHL 038

On the small side. Many of these rigs use two motors. This improves
the balance, but it also makes them a pig to work with,
