		I think you should have left the bark on the tops.
 
 Otherwise, really nice! |

 I agree, but sadly I had to take it off because the stumps were old, rotting, and the bark was infested with potato bugs. :-(

		Good job Slippy, although I did cringe at how you started the chain saw.

		Nice work, what are you doing with all of the stuff you're making? 
 
 I also appreciate the way your chaps and shorts make it look like you're wearing manpris, very fashionable.
 
 Maybe next time try some meggings? |

 I don't think they're coming inside.  If I can soak them well enough with stain they can be outdoor 'features'.  But I'm sure that if I wanted, my wife would love to have the smaller one inside, she loves folk-art. :-)

 That was one of two techniques shown in on the DVD that came with the saw... ?  It usually starts right up, but I goofed up a while back and put gas oil in the chain oil chamber.  I don't know if that screwed it up somehow, I don't see how.  It's been a bit rough to start ever since. :-(  I should take it in for a tune up.

 In the style of Napolean Dynamite, too, I love it!

 Those chaps seem a bit short, but I guess they're standard??? Hopefully I won't cut my legs off at the shins.
 
 I've given a couple of pieces as gifts to family, and kept one for our front door.  I'd like to use the smaller table as a potted plant stand in a garden out front, and the larger one as a stand to put stuff on to carve it.

		| Hmmm don't think I've ever seen such short bucking pants before, you may want a longer pair.  Got a little bit vertiginious towards the end but I'm ok now :-) |
