Hey guys,
I have actually done one carving, nothing too intricate, of a four leaf clover, but am looking to start doing more complicated carvings. I know my first step is to purchase a real carving bar (last time i just used a short normal cutting bar-probably not the safest). I'm just looking for any advice you might have for a new guy. Also, I'm looking for a saw upon which to mount my bar (im very much partial to old homelites- I previously used a little xl) but am considering something along the lines of a homelite super ez (want something with a slightly larger feel than the xl) any thoughts on my saw choice and/or what are some characteristics of the ideal carving saw? along with saws what size tip and chain pitch would you all recommend? Thanks all!
