We took down an old apricot tree this past summer and I was interested in seeing if I could get any usable wood out of the trunk. It isn't terribly big (9-10" wide) and only about 3 feet that was pretty straight. I painted the ends and let it sit for a bit, but now I'd like to start getting it broken down into some sort of planks so it can dry out more evenly and eventually become something useful.

So my question is: how do you support a small (65 lb) log like this when working on a small bandsaw? (euro-style 14", so just enough resaw capacity, but the table isn't very big) I'm anticipating that I'll need to screw it down to a piece of plywood to make my first flat cut. But doesn't seem like it would be easy to support towards the end of the cut. I expect folks would have some sort of outfeed support -- is there a conventional form for this? my table saw outfeed supports are all too low.

thanks,
Matt
