Nice job. I suppose the sign is going to say "Don't feed the bears".:jester:

 

[B-Edwards]

Very neat and clean job , My wife would buy that!!! What kind of wood is that?

 

[PA Plumber]

Good Job. Pretty neat.

 

[troutfisher]

What kind of wood is that?

White Pine, Minwax stain and polyurethane for the finish.

You take the time to debark the logs first? Does that save sharpening or?

I debark the logs to keep the bugs away. Insect damage sucks. Those big white worms that bore holes in pine logs seem to need the bark, no bark.....no worms. If you've ever kicked the bark off a rotting log, you've seen the ants, centipedes, all kinds of stuff. The logs seem to dry better also, without mold or rot.

About 15 minutes from here there is a place on the road that carves bears and what not. They have a carving of 2 bears fornicating out in front of their place. Next time I'm in that area i will swing by and get a pic of it.Its hillarious.
