I'm new at chainsaw carving, so the slit is too large, but it really sounds cool as I chop his insides out. I can "tune" it... It has a whole scale of tones to it. (Just like JohnnyP said! Thanks for the education and encouragement!). It's walnut, so it's hard wood, and as I clean off the sap wood from the outside, I can easily judge depth without chopping thru. This is fun!
