I put that cedar log through the Gman home saw mill (see below) to cut out the good chunks. This particular log was home to metal wires (Aack!), some serious fungus, and a colony of termites. I hate termites. Anyway, I got 17 nice chunks to play with. Most of the wood will be used for small/medium pieces for the Manroom. I was able to salvage one large chunk that I will use for my next long term project. I need to let it dry for a while, but soon I will begin a year or so long carve to make a large/medium sized Teko with both arms kicked back, back bowed, and his head tipped forward. I couldn't help myself and used a marker to draw on it already.....

I had the saw real sharp today.....:D

Laters,
