Thanks for the kind words, folks.

That Lancelot blade is awesome. I started on a three foot Moai and roughed it out with the Lancelot. That thing saved me many hours, if not days, of hogging out large swaths of wood. If you're good with a chainsaw you likely wouldn't see such a big difference, but if you're a mallet-swinger, it's like magic. Once you get the hang of it you can even get it to where it's not so rough. It's just not forgiving at all. If you let your mind wander for a split second, you've suddenly got a quarter inch deep gouge in your work. Great tool for the job, though. I've also put a Holey Galahad on my Xmas list - that looks like it might be a nice compromise between speed and forgiveness...

Cheers!
