Please don't ask me to describe it...it is what came out of the log when I started chipping. I know there is a lot of work to do, but I am feeling somewhat pleased with the results so far. This is my first attempt at anything like this, and I am sure more will follow. A very enjoyable way to kill several hours. :wink: The wood is Poplar, quite dense when wet and pretty stringy. I was pleased to find out it actually cuts pretty well. I assume it will crack profusely as it dries. Will in Nor Cal
