OK, Benz & everybody - here's the update.

Both Buzzy and Our man in Gonzoland, Billy Crudilly, showed up today to take a few hacks at the Monster Log.

First Buzzy slid the chainsaw all along the remaininmg bark - it worked, it pulverized the stuff, but it still took a while. The ML doesn't go down easy. This is our SIXTH session de-barking it.

Another view of the process.

Then we hacked at it with Billy's draw knife.

Hack, hack...

Here's the problem up close - this is what Evil Monster Hairs look like. Even if you burn them off, they remain as burned stumps:

Hi Billy -

This off-cut rolled out into the street. We thought it was funny. It rolled real good.

Billy goes at it. This isn't the ML, he brought his own.

And more. The driveway was getting real messy right about now.

And back to tyhe Monster Log, which has visably shrunk without its protective husk. It sweet underneath, I'm going to round off the edges and thin the bottom. This is gonna be NICE.

Oh yes, it will dance a fine jig on the tip of my knife, soon, so soon my sweet.
