Now that it's glued back into place I can think about finishes. Considering something light, to show off the black/blue colors in the wood. In the mean time, it's time to attack these two pieces of white pine that have been sitting idle since the tree was removed a couple years ago. I'm fighting against the forces of nature, too, since the dang carpenter bees have started boring into them! First time roughing out shapes with the chainsaw. Surprisingly tough going. This stock chain / electric saw combo does not lend itself to cutting big swaths of log. Memorial Day Moai. Next up - the grinder!
