It probably won't affect the resale as long as you do a neat job. You are going to do a neat job, right? ;-)
Hahah. :lol: Only if there is a fence I can run that dremel wheel along. I wouldn't consider anything I've ever cut with a dremel to have looked "neat" once I was done with it. Hopefully a steady hand will end up with a straight enough line that I can then sand the remaining edges down. Like I said, I'll post a pic when I get the nerve to do it and you guys can see if maybe there's a better way to do that.
None of the trees here have sentimental value (VALUE, yes...just not sentimental), so that removes that reason for doing it. I guess the entire thrust of the idea was "Hey, that's neat". Heh. And at this point, I think I've been wisely talked out of bothering with it. AT THIS POINT. If I were to get serious with it, I'd probably have to think about getting the riser section for the grizzly too so I can saw larger logs. And the "years down the road" thing doesn't bother me so much. It'd just be nice to have onhand for some kind of gift project. I guess I'll hold off on my ideas until we get to falling some more trees, and then I'll give it a shot just to see what I think. My wife is already pronounced a death sentence on a couple ones so her garden can flourish.
Ya, I had heard about acclimating the wood first (mainly in regards to wood flooring), and I seem a natural at that. It's not unusual to buy the wood (and tools and parts and etc) and then let it sit for MONTHS before I actually do anything.
