    Just about every chainsaw carver that I know that has been injured has not been from a saw but the angle grinder, those lancelot attachments are the worst. The arbortec pro cutter works nice.

    Also stay away from harbor freight sanding backup pad disk holders I had one self destruct and a chunk of the plastic lodged in the ceiling, very lucky I did not get hit even though I wear safety gear.

    Went to their site and wrote a bad review twice they never put it up or acknowledged it.

    Makita backup pads are robust.

    Love it. Super nice. An artist can think outside the curves to create a unique piece.

    No Gene, no epoxy in the gaps that would just create movement issues down the road, our dining table we had for years was a teak outdoor table with 1/4 gaps between the top boards we used place mats and never had issues, the new dining table I made for our house is the same.

    Brian,
    Who's epoxy are you using for the butterflies/etc.?
    West?
    Yep, I bought a bunch of different backers for the Makita when I bought it. Main wood use now is with a foam back pad for the final softening of slab edges, and removing the last of the inner bark layer when I'm trying to save the natural contours. Relatively safe for my legs...I'd be scairt with those Lancelot type heads

    Sprayed it with varithane water based floor finish been using it for a while with good results.

    A bit of a learning curve on application compared to traditional solvent based finishes.

    A few pictures of the finished table. The finish was wet sanded with 1500 then compound buffed.
