Hello Y'all
I have been cutting trees, brush and tunneling my way through the woods with stihl chainsaws for 15 years now as a pipeline surveyor. But I have never carved a thing.
I am artistic, with an eye for detail though and think with a lot of practice, I could become quite skilled at carving.
I have been researching for the best carving set up some time now, and quite frankly, I am convinced that I am thoroughly confused as to which saw and bar I should purchase.
I was thinking about a regular/standard saw and bar for blocking and another lightweight saw with a quarter or dime tip.
I was leaning towards Echo because of the package deals, Bob King's set up basically, But I keep hearing that they won't last.
I also hear good things about Stihl for carving, and I know from experience that they are tough saws.
Does Stihl have a carving package, Any info. would be great!
What are the pros and cons and price comparisons.
Thanks so much for your time.
