Hi everyone

I have been reading through some of the past posts and found a lot of useful information (safety) but I still a few questions I thought I would post.

1. Are the any “how to” instruction on the web or books that are worth getting?
2. Are chisels and a mallet the only tools I will need to start or will I need some power tools?
3. What is a good size to start with?
4. Where should I look for a log? I live in the metro Boston area so I figure Pine is my best bet.
5. Several post recommend sealing both end of the log. What is a good sealant to use that won’t affect the end finish?

Any help would be great.
