HI all.
Yesterday I acquired a terrific load of Maple.

One beautiful piece in particular is fantastic and I am really nervous about what to do with it.
It is 8 1/2" thick and about 24 x 24 weighs about 170 lb.

I have a Oneway 1640 lathe and only turn inboard. I am afraid to cut it without some serious help!
How would you cut it. Right now it is unmanageable by myself so I need to cut it and get to roughing before it starts to crack.
Thanks in advance.
