Well, now some days have gone by and I´ve been burning my brain to get this logger goin´.
But the progress have been made.
I stripped the bark off the log with an axe and a hammer. It went off really easy.

Then we cut a piece off on the backside to take off some weight, the thing was weighing a ton.

Then to move it into the garage I got hold on some rolling sticks from a neighbor down the road.

"The Gyptian way"

Then I asked my mom if I she knew if there were any tools I could borrow at her work,
cause she works at a practical high-school.
I asked one of her colleagues and he had this awesome angle grinder with some blades
especially made for woodcarving. The blades are called Lancelot, I´ll post some pics of it later.
And then I went to work.
As you can see, I´m not really experienced, and the carving is still not really sophisticated.

Mark up with chisels.

1st day of carving

2nd day of carving

But it still makes a pretty nasty scowl.

May Our Fire Burn Forever!
