I'm definitely going to check out a sawmill. The place is in Kingston, MA so Copeland and Sons in Marshfield is where I'll start. I also want to get a custom slab to replace a tiled mantle in the same room so they may have some advice on making the two look good together.

I'm thinking about using some wrought iron nails and straps to use as fasteners. The straps could hide seams with a little planning.

I thought of the sandblasting Raven. I would do it before we moved in. I'm just worried that after all the work the end product would leave me wishing I went the other way. I definitely don't want to do both!
