In this video, Roger is cutting a log in half lengthwise to make some turning blanks, enough for about 6 bowls. It’s pretty impressive to watch a professional using a big chainsaw like this. He makes it look easy!

Here’s a large stump from a 200+ year old Arbutus tree which grew here on Vancouver Island. Ed is standing beside it to lend some perspective on how big this tree was. Tony is planning on carving something special from this stump.
