What is the best chainsaw for wood carving?
A really small one, low powered, so that it will be less likely to put you in the hospital.
It should be electric if you have electricity on site ( people do carve trees and stumps where there is no electricity) because it’s so much quieter and usually a lot lighter too.
The question you should be asking is what should I be wearing in the way of safety gear. The answer to that one is everything you can put your hands on. Wood carving with a chain saw is a VERY dangerous activity. Right up there with riding dirt bikes.
