the length of the log so it fits onto the corner of the desk. *I

Not quite sure what you are trying to do.

But if I was goint to put a long dado groove into a log, I would use a
router. *I would build a jig to run the router on. And I would screw into
that section of the log where the wood is going to be removed.

He wants to cut a square inside corner into the "log" and fit that to
the assembled desk box - sounds like decoration as opposed to
structual.
