Perhaps, as long as you don't have to drop a tree with a big trunk. Hard to believe a 192 can pull a 20" bar. Maybe the big trees in Virginia have shrunk a tad. Who knows?
I have reason to suspect that a lean condition is with the bar and chain.

Those little 19*Ts are BEASTS. Not sure why even bother with the 20*Ts when they have these. Durable plastic, awkward choke, and vicious power. They should sell for at least 2X what they do. I'm disappointed I've wasted my time on other saws and not gotten one of these. Maybe next time.......

Prototyping.....
Some underling challenges but I think the design has promise.

Looks totally reasonable to me.
That saw is a toy 10 bucks says my Mini Mac will pull a 32 inch bar so there.

Next time I have one of these trees to handle, I'll bring the saw shown in post #1:
Cottonwood gets rather big around here.

I might need a bigger bar for that one...
3" thick Cottonwood bark sells for $7/lb. in these parts. Great for carving.Next time I have one of these trees to handle, I'll bring the saw shown in post #1:

Nice to know. Net question The 3" measure is (I assume) the thickness, does length and width affect price , obviously small chunks excluded. We have linwood for carving and I have sawed hundreds of thousands of board feet of Cotton wood and this is the first I have heard about carving it. Thanks
Sometimes I save chunks of it for kindling. One of my firewood customers gave me an extra $5 for a box full of cottonwood bark. BTW, the tree in that Pic shown in post #7 just about filled to the brim a 45' bunk trailer that was used to carry 10' lengths to the sawmill. Sawyers call that a money tree.
It weighs no less than 118 lb or 54 kg? I believe that's what the Pic says. Really good saw for Arnold Schwarzenegger, perhaps, but only when he was under 40 years old. Gasp!
I love April Fools stories.
Yes, width and length count as well but even short pieces work.. Here are some pieces I've carved. The long ones (3rd pic) are about 24" and 32" long. The piece on the right was done in a class so I made as many faces as I could - one upside down.
Folks sometimes glue pieces back-to-back for thicker material and carve small houses or use wider pieces and carve little mountainside villages - last pic.

THAT IS IMPRESSIVE!! (Caps are intended for emphasis)
Is/are these strictly bark or a slab of wood with the bark on. ? So many questions always come from less talented people , But I can admire your talent.
Wifey is really impressed as well.
Hope you don't mind .. I Impressed myself by copying the link to this post to The WTF thread as a reply to Grizz 55 post about fishing. You certainly deserve recognition for that post.
OK by me. Yes, this is bark only, no wood behind it. Very easy to carve but tools need to be razor sharp smooth edge so no lines are left in the cut surfaces.
