Had a big ole walnut log that I chainsawed into chunks a couple years ago with a bright idea that never came about (you're safe Scott). This piece was 2 3/4" thick for the most part, so I carved an owl on one side, then had the other side with plenty of wood in between so i put an eagle on it. Have no idea what I'll do with it, but I'm sure some time, some place, some one will offer to buy it.

That must have taken a while to cut. How long?

About 45 minutes a side. Could have been faster but I was a little leary with having to put shims under the slab and clamping (ended up using C clamps since the bed is still open) to make it as level as possible, I used 180 ipm for both the rough and finish cuts.

Could very well be. But I've never seen a cherry log that big around before.

Good idea. Let me think on that one.
