Ideas for big rounds too large for regular CNC

What would you do with 24" to 40" rounds? One option is to chainsaw off a flat bottom, then fabricate make shift janky adjustable drop table CNC setup and carving some names/number for custom woodsy signage. No idea if there’s enough demand for the end results though :man_shrugging:

Any ideas for fast projects to use/sell them? Ideally they don’t end up as just firewood, but, that’s the easiest way to avoid them just sitting and rotting. Better to have them gone and put to use. Wish I had the chainsaw skills to make some Jimothy carvings.

These are free for any forum members in the Seattle area (am on the eastside) as long as you share what you end up doing with them. I can deliver in exchange for beer, but, would prefer you pickup.

Rounds came from 10’ trunk sections (killz primer sealed ends) that were on gravel for ~6yrs. Trees were cut down by water utility contracted crew (neighborhood water supply replacement project). A local Sawyer helped turn 2/3 of the trunks into usable lumber. This is what’s left, somewhat sappy, doug fir has been just sitting around in a shaded spot.

Cheers for the ideas people share, even the silly ones.

Sounds like you already have one idea. You can ride that Jimothy wave and do some carvings of him, especially since he’s in your area. :grin:
