This forum doesn't seem very active, and I'm not really going to be carving, but I did order a carving bar today.
I ordered a Cannon quarter tip bar from Jamie Doeren (chainsawsculpture.com) which is is going to bring the side down for me so they do not taper as much.
I plan to cut dovetail joinery for a long home, as well as do the mortises in the top plate logs for the 2nd story floor joists. Jamie recommended a quarter tip for cutting/cleaning the mortises. However, my concern with the quarter tip was that the bar has a fairly drastic taper, and I wasn't sure how I was view that. On smaller joinery which I use handaws for, I tend to prefer the edge fo the saw to be square to how I am cutting. Jamie offered to grind the sides down to overcome that effect.
I was going to get the Toonie tip, thinking that would be better, but it was good to talk to someone that does build log homes, because he knew exactly what I was referring to and what would work.
I ordered a Husky 336 (NOS) and await it's arrival, and Jamie will be sending me a new 1/4" pitch spur sprocket, the Cannon bar, and 1/4" Oregon 25ap chain.
Who knows, I may turn into a carver over time...but in the meantime I have some joinery I want to take care of.
