Hey Kids -- I have a client who wants to have a number of round posts in his new house. These would be peeled logs, two stories tall with rectangular connecting timbers coming in at all four points of the compass at various heights. Of course - these posts will taper from bottom to top, might not be completely straight and will certainly not be "round". Any tricks or tips to establish a plane of reference and layout accurate housings and mortises without tearing out the few remaining hairs on my already balding head ?

Thanks !
