I just found the logs in a field and used 'em.. who knows how old the logs you get are? As for tools, I found a draw-knife (www.rockler.com) to be awesome for getting the bark off... bought a $30 chisel set from Home Depot, then ended up getting an angle grinder ($15) and die grinder ($39) cheapies from Harbor Freight.... Other than that... just go for it! Post pics every step of the way.... you get tons of help from this forum! But be careful, you'll get obsessed.... I find myself slowing down at every vacant lot looking for palm stumps!
