[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

[@MrCrs40]

What kind of wood do you like to use ?

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

i only use cedar, i really like how it carves

[@colmburke9251]

Class job bro.what sanding disk did u use.thanks

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

thank you...for sanding i use a 36 grit flap disk

[@LJRamos111]

I can really apreciate you doing it freehand. I have to draw mine out first. Sometimes my saw kicks, Is it because of a dull blade or hard wood? I did my first carving today, I got scared that I would screw it up so I switched to a die grinder as I got a lot of detail done

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

thanks i appreciate it...it could kick a little from the chain bein dull, sometimes if you plunge cut itll wanna buck on ya a little bit to haha i dont get much kickback anymore but i used to

[@andynichols213]

What wheel are u using on the grinder

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

i use 36 grit flap disk

[@CB-ww7qy]

Getting ready to do a stump in the front yard because of this vid. Do you use a ripping chain on the saw or a standard cross cut chain?

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

Awesome good luck on your stump carve! as far as i know its just a standard chain

[@thecookup6221]

what type of sander blade is that

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

its a 36 grit flap disk on a 4 1/2" grinder

[@Matthew-ec4tc]

I’m not sure if I missed it or not but I was wondering what disc you used on your angle grinder to do the finish work. I’m looking forward to going back and watching a lot of videos later.

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

i use a 36 grit flap disk for finishing, thanks for watching i appreciate it!

[@everydaythings9121]

what chainsaw do you use?

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

the one im using in the video is a stihl ms194t with a 10" bar

[@everydaythings9121]

@@funkymonkeyschainsawart Thank you, im lookin to start chainsaw carving soon!

[@funkymonkeyschainsawart]

@@everydaythings9121 no problem, thats awesome you will have to let me know when you get to makin some sawdust! haha

[@jrich240h]

What kind of bar and chain do you use for the more finer detail work? Are you running a dime tip or quarter tip bar? Do you use a mini .043 gauge chain or the regular .050 gauge chain?
