I want to cut a deep rebate out of an old lump of oak.... It was originally part of a roof truss, but I want to reuse as a decorative lintel over an internal doorway (not one that will have a door hung in it)... The ceiling levels are different on either side of the opening - hence rebate.....
My first thought is to try with my chainsaw, but tbh I'm a bit scared! Any ideas as to best tool for the job? Should add that the surface of the oak is not level in either direction, so essentially I'm trying to cut into a log.....
