I'm making an end table/floor lamp from a 3 ft cut log. What's going to be the easiest or best way to level the bottom and top of this piece?
I thought about throwing it up on some saw horses and using the chainsaw to get it approximately level, then sand it to get it perfectly level.
Just curious if anyone had a better solution.

They make attachments for chainsaws to do rough on-site milling. It's basically a guide to square off a log.
Once you have it squared off, you may want to go with a power plane which would be abit faster than sanding.
