I've watched lots of videos on Swedish candles and thought I'd cut one for my nephews to play with at the lake last night. My saw is an MS-261 c-m. I'm using Stihl RS chain and sharpen with the 2 in 1 file. Saw always cuts really well. I started with a fresh sharp chain on a piece of really dry 20 ish" pine. I'm used to seeing nothing but big chips. The chain felt dull and made almost nothing but sawdust. Do I have a dull chain or is it likely just because I'm cutting nothing but end grain. I did some searching and it seems the consensus is that cutting end grain is a tough cut and sawdust is common. Thoughts?

BTW, the log burned beautifully.
