    That's pretty cool! I don't have the patients or steady hands to attemp something like that. I'm saving a few of my logs to slab out with my Alaskan rig this summer, just so down the road when they are gone completely I'll have something to remember them by.

    Yes that pole had a knot in it. Wasn't very stable!

    You can use that for legs and make a small table, Sav. A little present from me to you!

    I've already begun making my 16' tapered ash poles. I should have them done by the end of the weekend. 4 down, 8 to go!
