You've got a LN #7 but you are worthless with a plane? That's sad. Maybe the time to get familiar...

I do this work all the time. My advice depends on the relative straight ness and flatness of your material. If you don't have too far to go to flat, the plane, powered or otherwise will do wonders. I use the 4" Makita power planer to take down high spots all the time. I go diagonally, from two directions checking often ?with 4' straight edge or level. Get it close and take it to the shop with the wide belt sander.

If your wood is really cupped or twisted, I'd recommend the router sled route, or find a CNC shop. The program they use for machining their spoil board works great on slabs. You may need to shim it into a level ish condition splitting the difference between high and low spots.?

I often do this with shorter slabs less than 37" wide and just run them through my sander which has a long conveyor bed.

I'd forget the domino's. Unless you use a long setting glue they will be more trouble than benefit.

I'd be happy to chat if you want.

Good luck
