Even kiln dry wood is at 3-5% moisture content. However, if it has been air dried for a year or more, simply give it a week or two in your shop to acclimate before trying to mill it. If those chunks are an inch or more on the narrow end, you've got enough wood for a bunch of scales. I can typically get 3 sets of scales out of a 1 inch thick board that is 6" long and 1.5" wide. Find someone with a good bandsaw and ask them to resaw bookmatched 1/8" thick slabs.
Congratulations on the find...I've always found the project to have more meaning to me when I've taken it from the stump to the finished product.
