I have been lurking around and I have to say some of the work here is impressive and inspiring. I decided to try my hand at it on a whim and produced a recognizable but crude turtle. I was using a 50cc Shindiawa with a full chisel blade and 20" bar so it was a bit rough. I didn’t think much of it, it was just a see what I can do thing. I left it at the ladies house I am cutting wood at and didn’t see it the next day so I asked here where it was. Turns out she liked it enough to put it in her garden out front of her house.
so I would like to try some more in depth work. do you guys use a regular semi-chisel blade and a smaller saw I assume. I quickly saw anchoring down your work is important. I also would like to know what kind of bar oil I can use to be cleaner, can I use something like vegetable oil at all? Any other important obvious tips or trick I should know?
I know these are really newbie questions and if there is a starting guide I missed I apologize. might be nice if there was a simple start up sticky at the top.
thanks
