If you have a wooden post, say 4x12", and you want to cut through partly on one side, how would you do this? Say to achieve something like this:
Assume the post is already in place. I am no carpenter and had thought this is a job for a router, but someone told me it's very hard to rout along an edge like this neatly. Also, you'd be cutting about 3" out which seems quite a lot for a router.
Any advice the best technique and tools for this?
In our case, we can access only the right and bottom sides of the post (and the top)
