I thnk I have mallet elbow, Back ,shoulder etc. so I'm taking a break. I'm carving a large face. THE LOG IS 13X25 it's a lousy piece of popal like pulp wood. but I'm to far in for it to Be fire wood. I didn't have much of a plan so I'm not sure if it'a hippy, santa or a wood spirit. well have fun at whatever your doin, get back when my toe hurts feb
