Thanks, The pine logs are about 8 or 10 feet long and I am guessing about 6 to 8 inches in diameter. One llog is thicker. These are the tops of trees that the power company cut.

If you've got more stock than you'd like to tackle with little hand tools, maybe an adze would do. They've got blades either horizontal to the handle like a hoe or parallel like an ax. Depends on what you'd feel more comfortable and safe with too. If you've got short stock you might set them up in a lathe and rough them down that way, have to watch those bloody knots though! You could put a chisel through the roof or the floor or yourself!

You could check out Vinux, Linux for the visually impaired <http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/>. This email and any attachments are not virus scanned either, that's up to you poor Microsoft users to deal with.
