Seems it might be very slow going though, with the round log surface and flat router base. Kinda sketchy. One of my first tools was a carbide bit wheel for a grinder, made by arbor tech. It really works well for removing stock and 'freehanding'. I must give caution, this tool can be very dangerous ! Thats why I always wear welding gloves whe using it. (I'm not sure the gloves will stop any injuries, but they let me know when the blade is too close for comfort) Chop On !
