UPDATE: I finally got my boyz togetha to move the big dawg lawg to my back yard so that I can start carving. Thought I would just add a couple of progress shots to prove I actually got it done. It only took me 2 years! One thing I hadn't counted on originally but was pleased to see was that it debarked itself naturally as it dried slowly. Now I am working on a design that is just right for the shape I have to work with. Funny, I sure like this log better now that it is upright and waiting to be carved. Oh boy!

I kept wondering how would be the best way to move this thing without hurting someone, costing too much (rental equip.) or leaving ruts in my lawn. It turned out to be relatively quick and easy by using a 2 wheeled dolly and some ropes plus lots o' muscles. (I made them all eat some spinach before we began.)
