Beginner Log...

[Anthony Cissell]

How big should a log be when you first get one?

[Kyle]

I'd go with a 12". I think that's pretty much the consensus recommendation.

[Mike Landrich]

A 10" or 12" would be good. I have both and use the 10" more, but the 12" seems to be getting more use at contests.

[Brandon Campbell]

Go as big as you can from the get go.
