I had a plan going into this (part of the sales pitch), so it was just a matter of making measurements and sectioning the log. Once the sections are measured, details are laid out in chalk (you can wash/wipe chalk off and start over). The most difficult part is balancing everything and making sure everything is straight. With log laying down it makes this part difficult. There are many cuts and recuts trying to get everything leveled. I actually stand on/over the log to make sure my lines are kinda straight. It makes for a great surprise when we finally do stand it up (with the help of heavy equipment)!
