Lightbulb I figured what to carve first
Ok Ive done all the research, got all my tools and practiced with them and now Im ready to begin my chainsaw carving. Ive decided to carve a bear cub on all fours since the log is "speaking to me" that this is what it should be! I am a small woman and would appreciate any last minute tips you may have for me. I live in Michigan and I am just waiting for the weather to get a little warmer. Hopefully not too much longer but then again this is Michigan!

Thanks

hi there, and electric chainsaw might be better to start with,, lighter, and easier to use, i did one carving with a chainsaw, and as a women, i was a farmer, and it was much lighter to use an electric than a gas chainsaw, good luck, arleen

my advice is make sure the spinney bit doesn't come in contact with your skin....

Have fun!
