Noob carving saw.

Hi experts.

 

Fancy trying my hand at this carving lark after a recent burst of inspiration seeing a carved trunk.

 

What do you recommend?

 

Money not an object.

I got the missus a 150 back handle with the idea to use it for carving aswell and so far it's great, easy to start and also super light.

 

I think rob d has some great deals on echo saws with Sugi bars

Hi All, i got this little 350 from shavey with a normal bar then got got the carver bar at a later date. I love this saw, not tried carving yet but i get so giddy when i pick this saw up its unbelievable. So nice and light and nimble, yet with grunt as well. Buy One !

How much was that wee Dolmar?

 

Ok. Here's a cat amongst the pigeons...

 

Which is better? Shavey's Dolmar 350 or Rob.D's Echo 281 WES?

 

 

You can add to that the Echo 360 for good measure...

Hi all I may as well put in my thoughts I have run a ms180 for the last 10 yrs carving I started with a Sthil carving bar but now have a sugi the sugi bars are much better lighter , my ms180 is now F---ed and the new sthils are crap so I will be ordering an echo set up from Rob D just as soon as I get the stump carving done that I am doing at the mo ,with a borrowed new sthil that is no way as good as my old one . good luck with whatever you go for

cheers Mark

I got my 350 at a trade in price for my knackerd mak saw, so dont know 'real' price.

 

I have never tried an echo, so i'm in no position to say which is best. All i can do is give the dolly the good review it deserves.

 

cheers

I can't comment much on the echo only if the smaller saws like there bigger saws then you won't go far wrong
