I bought a caber

[Alan H]

OK, shaping the caber... I finally got started. I did everything you see in these pictures with the circular saw you see, here.

ONe 15 foot doug fir 6x6 sitting next to my driveway.


Same stick, different angle, showing the tapered end.


Cross section of "the top" where I haven't removed much material
I will be using a hand power planer to round the hard edges a bit.


Close up of the tapered end, showing how I"ve removed a lot more material from the "corners"


And finally, cross section of "the bottom". This will be rounded off with
the power planer. I "tapered" the bottom 7 feet of the caber.

It's looking good, I can't wait to see the final product and see how it holds up.
