full chiesel chain????

[skyhuck]

I my eyes it does not matter what chain you use . Just keep it sharp . Simples ..

 

These are words of great wisdom

I've found semi chisel chains to be a bit more robust and smoother in the cut, definitely what I would go for!

so am I better of just sticking to a bog standard chain, a lot of the cuts will be going with the grain not across.

 

Chisel and semi-chisel both are "standard", it's just a matter of choice (and some times local availability).

 

Ime, chisel works much better than semi-chisel for cutting wood from the side, to split it ("noodling").

 

Much of my wood is knotted and/or twisted, so I do quite a bit of it.
