oak and chainsaw....

I got a couple logs of oak to make some gifts for Linda D.  One of the logs was pretty decayed on the outside but the inside is looking good...I think it is red oak... The other I think is white.  I split them up when I got them on friday and then the chainsaw started acting up... Got one half of the red cut to size and roughed out.   Today I bought a spark plug, sharpened the chain and cut the other to size.  there is a branch that will make nice character...   I rounded it out and have it sitting is shavings waiting to get hollowed out tomorrow.   Need to find out how to keep chainsaw running..... 

I need to finish the bottoms of 2 bowls...cherry from Deb M. wood and Box elder ...with some character...  I bought some acrylic finish to try and avoid box elder from yellowing...lets see what happens..
