Getting a chainsaw. What to think about? - Tiki Carving

I work on BIG wood most of the time and find the gas much faster. I have no neighbors so noise isn't an issue, though. If you aren't used to a chainsaw, the biggest thing I would recommend as far as safety, besides the gear, is to get into a thought process of thinking of where your legs and knees are before every cut. One split second of contact does a LOT of damage. Other than that, good luck with your carving!
