bandsaw end cut log jig

[Raif Harik]

Hi folks. I was wondering if any of y'all had a nice design for jig that allows you to cut the end off a log without cutting your hands/arms off. I know carter & sons has one for nice affordable $140 but I'm thinking like maybe triangles with drywall screws coming out as spikes. Not to drive into the log of course, but just to grab it nicely as you push it through.
Thanks,
Raif

I dont have a photo if mine but it is just 2 pieces of plywood mounted on two triangle pieces so the form a V. This was mounted on a flat board. There is a small stip of wood on the bottom to ride in the miter slot.
I put the round log in the v cradle and cut off whatever I need. No pointed screws needed.

Similar for me. A chunk of 4x4 cut on the diagonal stuck to a flat plywood board. No mitre strip, I just freehand it. If it feels sketchy to hole, I'll use plumbing pipe hanger strap across the log - one screw into each 4x4 half.
