This log is very dense and really tough, I found chisels and my useless chainsaw totally inadequate so used an old wood auger brace drill to make a few holes. So now what? Good question. I knew the carbide bits for my die grinder would do no good much too slow so I needed another idea. I found a router bit and used my bench grinder to make it fit my die grinder and it is going through the wood at a good rate. After an hour I was about a third of the way through the log.
