Red cedar (possibly from B.C.).
The hardest job will be cutting through 14 inches with my handsaw.
Old insulators were a bonus, all together on one section of discarded telephone pole.

Nabbing insulators is in my genes. Wooden bowls? I'll know by Christmas.

Is there some aesthetic reason why you would use a hand saw as opposed to a power saw?

I was wondering the same thing myself (about the saw). You are turning into our father you old scavenger. See, he taught us well, at least well enough that we remember,

Hello to two Janes,
I have a small chain saw but it hasn't been sharpened for many years. If I build a crib to hold the log in place I may be able to use the chain saw, but we live in a closely packed neighbourhood and the noise is a concern.
I may look for a double-hander saw and ask for volunteers!
Cheers,
Gord the Scavenger
PS Son Paul just brought me a 4 foot piece of black walnut. Stunning. More bowls!
