Thanks for the help GMAN and Polynesiac. I'm definitely gonna pick those tools up and I'm thinkin' of starting out with some cedar! I've got a buddy that works at Longview Fibre(a large paper mill)that's helpin' out with a few leads towards some cedar logs. I'm thinkin' about starting with a 10" x 5' log, but just keeping it simple until I get comfortable with the tools. What would be a fair price for a log this size? We figured, just off the top of our heads, that the mill could cut 25 6' cedar fence boards out of a 10" x 6' log, which would sell in the store for around $75. So I was thinkin' $40 would be a decent price? Thanks again for the help!
