Tfisher - thanks for the props. I can save you a chunk from the next cedar tree I get my hands on, but what I have here is all planned for right now.

Fink - yeah, the heartwood is a lot softer and you have to be careful not to break through the sapwood and really dig into the heartwood. It's not too much of a problem with chisels, knives, or rotary tools, but it's a BIG deal with the chainsaw. One careless move with that bad boy and it's going deep - real deep. I've been lucky with my saw work and have not killed any carvings with it lately. I'm real careful and use solid bracing techniques to support my chainsaw during tight cuts.

Thanks for stopping by guys!
