Seeksurf, that KU wieghs as much as my motorcycle with me on it. It's a freakin' behemoth. It took three Hondurans, a Mexican, and two Irish pigs to load it into my truck.....and it still isn't the heaviest log in the pile. I took a HUGE bite this time. Let's see how it all digests, man. Here was today. Started out with a little sanding......

Trimmimg down and rounding out the top of the head....

Then my ADD kicked in and my attention went to this 7 footer

Started up the smoker

Good wood, good chips, soaked in Merlot and apple cider...

Salmon and chicken, getting smoked up just right. Damned thing looks like Spicoli's Van.

Got this far. Don't ask what it is yet. It's just a 7 foot Stump right now. Had to sharpen the chainsaw twice while doing this. Tough ass bark and hit a screw, even after taking the metal detector to it. Pissed me off bigtime.

Todays progress on the HUGE KU head

Then spent an hour on these guys. 11 chisels, 6 grits of hohning paper and 10 sore fungers later,

You can see your face in this sucker. Thanks Randy! Enjoy that Electromac. That's one hard to find chainsaw.

More to come, unless Im killed somehow. That would suck.
