Hello,

I have ten twelve foot long logs which are now debarked and I want them carved with the SW motif of spiral flutes, or rope design.
Someone mentioned about carving the logs with a tool run by a large compressor. I have no knowledge of this tool and would appreciate any information about this method of working in wood.

Thanks,

Gene So

do a search on die grinders. some carvers use them much like a dremel.

There are pneumatic powered tools, most often used for stone rather than wood. The wood ones are more for detailing than hogging off lots of material.

You may want to look at the grinders designed specifically for wood shaping by Arbortech.
