    Thanks for the feedback everybody, OH has now squashed pics (ta Gee) so all pages should load super quick. Nothing He could do about fonts though as they are preset for certain things. Kim

    A recent bench I carved for a poultry farming couples anniversary. The wood is Oak and its completely chainsaw (with the help of an Alaskan Saw Mill and 4 screws). Kim

    Carved this at Wild About Wood Festival out of a piece of Oak. As usual its 100% chainsaw and the last pic is of it in its new home near Hull. Kim

    Thanks everybody :-) Hi Splinters, thanks :-),although I love doing the commissions (they're still my own designs at the end of the day) I do sometimes feel a little bit restricted by them especially once the challenge of doing something for the first time has gone (that's why I leave the owls to the hubby :-) and luckily I get asked for lots of different things). It's just finding time do something that's not been paid for, glad I did in this case and I'm going to do so more over the next few months. That'd be great to see pics of Dervish when you're done :-) Really TCD? I feel honoured :-) Kim

    In between doing commissions I love to give free reign to more purely art driven carvings. Heres one I finished recently, I wanted to use the saw as a pencil to "sketch" out the woman if that makes sense. Think the final piece captures the vulnerability that I wanted to give it. The wood is Sycamore and as always its 100% chainsaw. Kim

    A Sycamore Yoda, all chainsaw. Kim

    Thanks Gee :-) Not used a Zebra but the Oregon and Cannon are similar weight wise (too long since I had a Stihl to remember). The Oregon feels a bit springier when carving if that makes sense! Kim

    :-) The reliability is as good as if not better than the two big brands and this is speaking from the experience of having had them all, I still can't believe how good they are for the money (by the way I'm not sponsored by Echo or anything, just my honest opinion) Bar wise I use Cannons, found the Stihls not to last very long. I'm just experimenting with an Oregon one (off Rob.D) and so far so good although annoyingly they use a different no. of drivelinks to the Cannon and Stihl ones which is nice! Kim

    cool :-) Kim

    Hi Geesaw and welcome :-) The little echo cs270wes (think its 280 now) is brilliant, knocks both stihl and husqvarna into a cocked hat for the price (in my opinion). The parts back up is ok and it comes with a 2 year professional warranty. Why buy second hand when you can get a new machine for the same money. I carve for a living and am saw deep in wood nearly everyday so my detail saws get plenty of use so I feel fairly well qualified to say they are ace :-) Less than 40cc for a caving bar I seem to recall having read somewhere.

    Cool :-) Kim

    Thanks everybody:-) It took around 30 hours Matty Kim

    Finally got on to a commission that wasn't dog related (I enjoy doing them but 5 in a row is a bit much). This was a lovely bit of Oak (ridiculously hard and difficult to carve as it turned out) with some root plate still attached that I carved into this bench. Kim
