A dremel is fine for small items, but if you're planning on carving logs you'll need bigger stuff- IE a chainsaw, mallet & chisels, grinder, rotary sander, etc. I've been carving some fish out of 2x10 redwood and even on something that small I use a chainsaw and router for rough shaping, a rotary sander for smoothing and then go to a moto-tool for final shaping & sanding. By the way, a whip attachment is fantastic for moto-tools, it's a lot easier to control than trying to hold the whole thing. Good luck and welcome aboard!
