Thanks for that Rob. I here you are the man to talk to about chainsaw bars ! the saw i'm using at the moment is an AMA Th 25.10 . The bar I'm using at the moment has a tip of about 3/4 inch but I'd like something a bit smaller if you could recommend something that would fit it. plus what would bar and chain cost posted to Rep of Ireland ?

 

Thanks, will fogarty

I think it looks great! How do you treat one of these things so it will withstand the elements? I'm sure there are tons of linseed oil and the like, but still -- rubbing an intricate piece like that would take a long time to get even coverage. I suppose it would be sprayed on ...

That's looking great and really getting me in the mood for woodfest it will be great to see how things like that are made

A fantastic bit of art work but I am welsh and I think there are not enough dragons I hope you will do more.
