    Nice work, what do you use to peel the bark off the logs?

    Depending on how much I want to remove, I use a holy galahad carbide disc, a sanding flap wheel disc, I remove a lot of bark with just a knife.

    Very cool. I bet you don't move them around a lot.

    Nice work. I like rustic projects...have done a few myself. I enjoy letting the wood pieces dictate the final form.
    Thanks for sharing.

    That may just be the coolest tool name I've ever heard. "Stand back, while I unsheathe my Holy Galahad"


    And great work! As someone from the Adirondacks, this speaks to me

    Very nice. Are the tops red cedar? In any case, how do you keep them from splitting?

    Yes the tops are eastern red cedar, these are pretty thick tops, I really dont have much trouble with them splitting, if I have an area that is starting to split or that looks like it might in the future I will put in dutchman patches, or bowtie inlays, both work very well. Thanks for all the kind words, good woodworking to you all.
