We have been getting into gardening this spring in our new house. I just finished up a project to build raised beds. I'm posting a few pictures here, but the full work up is on my blog:

I used a 1/4" 2-flute spiral down tool. I found that I got better results when conventional cutting. The 4" x 4" posts were quite wet, but the cutting results were okay. All in all it was a fun project and hopefully we'll be enjoying the fruits of our labor in a few months!
