    That's a top job!! Loving the carving, I think painting it has brought it to life, but still gives it a wooden integrity! spot on :-)

    Well depends what you want to carve, iv carved this bear with a Makita electric. That's with a standard bar, with the electrics there isn't much you can buy accessories wise but don't spend a fortune on an electric but don't go cheap as they are a waste.

    I know over in America you can get a Makita carving bar set with sprocket included but youd have to check the correct model. P&P is tricky as it takes ages and isn't always guaranteed to arrive. Electric saws take smaller chain sizing etc so youll probably do just as well with a normal electric saw for what an electric can do http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=18875

    OSMO polyx is expensive, its that balance I guess between that and other oils. Id love to see some products with the polyx oil to see the difference. If I make big bucks I may buy some but is it really worth the price?

    I always think, nothings too hard to achieve, just take your time, measure twice and cut once :-) Finding timber is difficult, I have a few local contacts in which I can collect timbers from so pretty lucky, all depends what's around at the time and what it is I guess. Im using only an electric chainsaw too but always think big for the future Its the enjoyment for me..:-)
