Here is a bar that should fit that saw. Stihl is my brand of choice.

Call them and they will be able to answer your specfic questions on the saw/chain/sprocket/bar required combination.

However, the bar that came on the saw will work well. The carving bar will enable you to make tighter detail. The standard bar on your saw has a fairly small tip that will be able to carve some nice detail. Try it before you spend the money on a carving bar.

Any type of wood can make a tiki, but use the search feature here. There is a thread or two here that discusses different types of wood. Pine, Spruce, Ceader, Bass, Walnut, Oak are all great woods.

As far as Chisels, search for threads by Benzart and Basement Kahuna, both discuss these pretty well. You will learn a ton from both of them and they both have a lot of tiki eye candy on their threads.
