Mahalo Jane. I will look.
Noel,
The smaller logs are easier to handle for sure and are good for many projects.
What I learned from some locals; They are easy to skin when freshly cut. If you cut a couple of 2" dia.X 18" long branches and beat the bark rapidly all over like playing a drum, this loosens the bark and it will peel off like a banana skin. It leaves the cambrium layer intact and seldom even needs sanding.
Stack them on stickers and cover with old roofing or a tarp, but allow air flow around them to prevent rot.
