Need a log cut - near Pershore Worcestershire

[DerekJohn]

Hi fellow turners.
Hope someone near me (WR10 2LX) can help.
My bandsaw is too small to cope with the log which is:-
13.25" diameter
10.50 " tall
Six vertical cuts required leaving half the log uncut.
A bottle of nice red or white wine is offered.

I've got a frame saw that could cope with that if you don't mind using some elbow grease:

Hi Rob
Thanks for your quick reply that but it does sound a bit hard for me ;-)
I had not heard of a frame saw before - showing my ignorance, but I can see what it is thanks to your link.
I'll see if someone has a bigger bandsaw first.

That sounds sensible to me, but feel free to DM me if you struggle with the bandsaw option.

I've got a bandsaw that would cope with that size but I'm in the Forest of Dean. Not too far but not exactly on your doorstep either!

Wow thanks for your reply, I am a fan of your work and have read many of your articles as I learn - just three years in wood turning. I will PM you later today.
