Chain Saw Carving
In an effort to generate more activity in this group besides spamming, how
about a discussion on chain saw carving. Has anyone here ever tried it? I understand chain saws are quite dangerous in the wrong hands (isn't everything?) and certain kinds of bars are used for carving. I found it difficult to locate any specific techniques or step-by-step projects on the Internet but am hoping someone here may have some information. Particularly, protective gear. What is best? I have mountains of firewood in my yard and would like to try it. My significant other has chain saw experience. We are going to try our hand at a totem this weekend. I figure, if they don't turn out I can always use them for the fireplace. Thank you, Bridget |

I thought I had a few more links, but I must have cleverly saved them so I wouldn't be able to recognise them by the name:-) Joe |

Thank you George. Although I will probably never have the desire to chain
saw carve, I found this link to be very interesting and informative. It takes a lot of courage to approach a log with a chain saw -- not only because of personal harm but one slip can ruin hours of hard work and creativity. "George G" wrote in message ...
