Great beginners video , been carving a long time and took up chainsaw carving 3 years been using a chainsaw all my life. The others tips is chainsaw maintenance and sharpening.
Watched this last night.. made my first bear head today! I messed up on the upward cut to the mouth, to make the paws.. so mine is just a head for the fireplace mantle. LoL!
@@thepeachyginger just finished my 2nd one. I got the paws this time! Made my profile pic for ya :) I'd honestly only used a chainsaw for a few small brush trees in the yard. Then last week I helped parents cut up a decent tree and thought about stump stools for their firepit. YT'd a vid on 3 leg stools and it looked like a challenge. But do-able. 2out of two successful! When I found your bear I had to try to expand my horizons. You made it look so doable. Your next vid I'm trying tomorrow is the owl. Then that awesome gnome house on the mushroom. I'm loving this new world of art through a chainsaw. I googled the dimebar tonight. Gotta get me one of those. I'm just using my dad's Husqvarna. LoL. Time to upgrade...
@@chamberb01 I have a 12 inch Remington........have been cutting trees with it for 15-20 years and it keeps going. Paid around 40 bucks for it back then.
I've got two battery saw at the moment, a stihl msa 120c for detail with a stihl carving bar(dime tip model), and a stihl msa 200 for blocking. Both are powerful and useful for what I'm doing
Thank you for easy instructions for a beginner! Your video was the nicest one for me to follow!

Nice job
That is so cute! I wanted to start way too ambitioned and failed with doing a dog :D
Dogs are tough to carve dude! I know how you feel haha
Nice
Awesome. I’m going to carve a bear
Did the saw come with the carving bar
I'm using a stihl msa 120 battery saw and no the carving bar didn't come with it
Do you use dry or green wood? Which is best?
I prefer green wood because it's easier to carve. But I use predried stuff for custom orders because it is much less likely to crack.
What type of saw are you using not much noise
Stihl 12" electric, they run about $300.
