Log work

I found one log that seems to be in good shape to mill for lumber.

Yesterday I went out and removed the bark from it with the draw knife.

The pros make it look easy.

It is anything but!

I am sore, both my shoulders and my rear end.  The shoulders from pulling the knife and my rear from sitting on the log to hold it still.

It took me a lot longer than the pros as I had to keep stopping to rest.

That is hard work.

At least it is done now.

I just hope the log is really good and it wasn't for nothing.
