Well the wind did most of the work. But I kept a log, about 3' long and 12" dia. I split the log in half best I could. I don't think chainsaws are ment to cut with the grain, it took forever, and lots of smoke.
So my next project... A peice of lumber!
I want to mill some lumber out of this log for the future. When do I start? Should I start slicing now, or let it dry over winter first?
We just had the wettest couple of months on record, so its going to need a lot of drying to be usable. I think it was a kind of birch, but has regular bark, not the white paper.
