There is a pic somewhere on the forum of a jack in a log. I can't seem to find it now. Maybe someone can find it and post it.

Here's a photo.  The jack is orange and at the bottom of the log.  This log had a huge limb that got burried into the ground.  Duncan and I had a heck of a time getting this white oak halved.

Step one, take a photo


Step two


Step two point five


Step seven  Notice one of the wooden wedges on top of the log.  We had to use a lot of these.


Step eight, sit back and take photos of people, other than youself, working.
