My log project: before

Tweet

OK, here's the rotten log before (or as) I started working on it. I think I have a photo from up the hill where I harvested the log, but I haven't found it yet. My first task was to chip out all of the rotten wood, exposing good wood to which I could attach my new log. After making sure the new log fit snugly in the space I cut it for, I put the new log aside (it weighed less than 30 lbs--not an issue,even for this old guy) and cleared out as much rotten wood as I could. For the record,this area is just to the left of the door to the cabin, so it's something people see when they come to visit. I wanted the end result to be purdy. . . OK, let me see if I can find the photo.
