One log table - PEM BB woodland.straw.logtable

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Woodland Care.

Sometimes a big hunk of a tree just isn't a good fit for lumber related projects.  Too knotty, bendy or a rotten branch perhaps?  Let's do some rudimentary, large scale whittling and turn that log into something nifty.  Let's make a small table out of it!

 
 
Here's one way to do it (let's skip the mineral oil):


Minimum requirements:
  - Make a side table from one big log
  - Log is at least 2' in diameter
  - Log is not taken apart and reassembled
  - Needs to have some modest carving done to it.  Examples include:
         - Sides scooped out
         - Underneath cut out to leave legs
         - Recesses for books (like in video above)
  - Must sit flat and have a flat top

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The log you're starting with
  - Midway through with the tools you're using
  - Finished log table
