Hey PJ isn't a chainsaw just a whole load of tiny knives attached to a chain that's spinning really fast? ;]

Aloha thanks, I didn't know about that one. I'll see if I can find those in the UK.

The new blade on the box cutter is pretty vicious, I was weaing a glove on my left hand but I still managed to nick the thumb of my right with the new blade - the hand that was holding the knife - what a dumbass!

I think it's partly what you're used to Polynesiac, I've been using the straight blade with the box cutter for a couple of years and it works for me, the new blade is going to take some time to get used to...
I used a dremel type tool on some parts of the small guys but I rarely use it anymore for two reasons-

1. I hate wearing goggles and a respirator when I'm carving
2. I prefer the marks you get from a knife and chisels

at the end of the day I guess it doesn't matter what we use as long as we get results and stay in one piece...

Anyway enough of my yakking here's some pics:

au natural-

the whole thing-

close ups-

I used a dremel type thing, a couple of chisels and the trusty box cutter ;]
can't remember what wood this is...

Thanks for looking,
