Holy cow Brian that is some beautiful work! I can’t believe this
thread has been around for a year and I’ve just found it (thanks Nicole!) and that it has barely any comments. I play around doing stuff like this as a hobby, but yours puts most of what I’ve done to shame. Plus I don’t have access to beautiful cedar like that...
I’d love to make the log beer cooler as a
gift for a good friend, but would have to hollow it out by a different method (a lot of time with my handheld grinder with a King Arthur wheel). What is the rig with the chainsaw? A type of mill, or mortising set up for timber framing? Did you build that or buy it?
