    Sunflower oil works really well, client needs to avoid using detergents to clean it and re-oil every now and then

    Thanks both; even the Echo set is too rich for my blood - by occasional I mean only a few times a year - what are the issues with a second-hand saw? Would it be worth getting a second hand Echo/Stihl/other and putting a new carving bar on it?

    Fairly close, especially in the winter when work and family commitments mean I get very little chance to disappear for a few hours, which really restricts me to the Caerphilly/Machen/Cardiff region. In the Summer (I work seasonally) I have much more flexibility and then can travel up to an hour each way, so Monmouth/Bridgend/Brecon are all do-able

    Morning! I occasionally make the odd long-bow and have had some good success foraging for timber (hazel, for example) but finding 2m lengths of clean, straight, not-spiral growth hardwood isn't always easy, especially since I have no machinery of any description. Anyone know of possible suppliers near Cardiff ?

    Evening All, I'm new to this forum and if this subject has been raised before, perhaps someone can push me to the correct thread: I've been carving a while, almost all small-scale, (though I have burned-out a couple of cheap angle grinders carving some oak animals for my kids school with an Arbortech disk). What would you recommend as a budget set-up for occasional chainsaw carving?
