I am new to arborist site and carving as well. Over the winter I had a 75 foot ash tree cut down on my property and had them leave the stump so I could carve a bear. I got a new john deere cs46 (pro series) with a 16 in bar and got to work. I love the john deere but cannot find a carving bar. I am now looking for a carving saw. I talked to the guy at the stihl dealer about the 390 and 290 models but they are both close to 13 pounds. My girlfriends father has let me use his husquvarna 445 with is an excellent saw for blocking out and such. I know these saws are all moderate use saws, should i go with a pro saw, or are the occasional use saws good enough for what I need. You guys are the experts; what would be the best saw for me to get for my occasional carving. I want something that can accept a dime tip carving bar. I assume it will be between husky and stihl.
Thank you guys very much.
