I recently had some white oaks cut down on my property. I’d like to get em cut into slabs but the guy I’ve used before is out of business. Any recommendations? Slabs are 12’ long and ~54” diameter.

Perhaps you can find someone with an Alaskan chain-saw mill. Labor intensive, but can cut slabs out of irregular (cylindrical) pieces where a conventional mill cannot. One significant advantage is that it can saw logs into boards or slabs "in place".

google search will give you some idea.
 
I’ve had a few different Woodmizers and they won’t handle those. The chainsaw mill might be th best option considering the size and shape. Good luck
