Okay so we thought we had an original idea
We had the place logged because Timber prices are through the roof so it made sense
We also had them drop a few dangerous old trees that were too close to the house
The one huge Cedar has a stump that must be at least 5' diameter so we want to make a table out of it
Some of the others we wanted to make into flower planters
Working on the first one closest to the house
First I thoiught it was going to be easy to just cust a hollow with the chain saw Bahahaha boy was I wrong
Next I tried cutting a cross hatch and using an Axe to take out chunks Bahahaha that was not working
I told Shan I might need to buy an Adz or Adze but then I remembered I had a small Pick I bought years ago to clear away roots when we re-built the pump house
So I figured I would at least try a "Proof of Concept" experiment before I spent more money on another tool
I sharpened it up using my Grinder for my Lathe tools
Now to be clear I was using a Wheel so I created a Concave bevel :rofl2:
Started taking out wood row by row, cutting the rows with the chain saw which I sharpened using a File so more concave bevels :D
Taking my time being safe, but it is progressing slowly, I can't believe how wet the wood is
