Crabapple Stump

[Dan Hintz]

I'll take the stump off of your hands if you don't want it now, Dave

[Dave Zellers]

That's a very generous offer but I'll have to decline.

Be very careful with those chainsaw carvers. I've seen some hairy accidents with them. Make sure your work piece is fastened down, and keep BOTH hands on that darn thing. One guy thought he could hold his work in one hand and the carver in the other. Didn't take but half a second to bury the carver in the side of his neck. Darn near killed him... a couple MM closer and he'd have severed an artery.

I don't think I ever want to use one of those things.

My limited experience with a hand held beaver, points to avoiding reaching inside a space/bowl with them. Working the outside of a plane or sphere with a "safe and controlled" run out is still all-sorts of of hazardous, but so is knife juggling......
