I like to make stuff out of logs, and lately I've done a couple of projects where I needed the ends to be perfectly flat and parallel.For most log projects you could probably just use a chainsaw and get the ends close enough. However, when "close enough" isn't good enough, here's the method I use. This requires some scrap plywood and basic tools like a router, drill, level, and clamps.

Stephen Dix on Instagram: "Turning a log into lumber. This video is incredibly compressed, but for all those without patience I’ll be posting an even shorter video later 🙂. These boards will need to be planed smooth after they fully dry, but it’s much better than letting the log just rot on the ground. I may look at drilling a hole through the bar to eliminate some of the wobble in the cut. It’s not much, and is probably just as much due to using a really old unevenly sharpened chain as it is due to slop in the jig.   I’m loving the spalting in this log though. This lumber is going to be real pretty once it’s cleaned up.   Also very impressed with my stihl chainsaw. It’s coming up on 30 years and still going strong.   #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #weekendwarrior #woodworkingonabudge Wood Logs Ideas, Hollow Log Projects, Log Design Ideas Woods, How To Preserve Wood Logs, Log Ideas Diy Projects, How To Hollow Out A Log, Log Pathway Diy Wood Slices, Log Wood Projects, Bandsaw Log Milling Sled
