Project Ideas
Business
Micro Pruning and Storm Cleanup Service
Offer fast-response limb pruning, hazard limb removal, and bucking for homeowners and small properties. The 16 in. bar on a top-handle saw is ideal for tight canopies and maneuvering around structures, delivering cleaner, low-chatter cuts that reduce follow-up finishing. Package flat-rate curbside bucking and haul-away tiers.
Chainsaw Carving Pop-Up and Commissions
Set up at farmers markets and events to carve small sculptures on-site (owls, bears, house numbers), taking custom orders for delivery. Market the smooth finish and detail possible with a 0.325 LP, 0.043 gauge setup to differentiate from rougher carvings. Upsell sealed garden totems and personalized signage.
Urban Salvage to Small Goods
Collect city-pruned logs and storm-fall, then slab or rip with a compact chainsaw mill for charcuterie boards, coasters, and live-edge shelves. The narrow kerf maximizes yield from small-diameter stock. Sell online and wholesale to local boutiques; brand each item with the tree’s neighborhood origin.
Trail and Corridor Maintenance Contracts
Provide limbing and corridor clearing for HOAs, trail associations, and landscapers. The maneuverable 16 in. bar excels at brush, saplings, and light bucking, allowing efficient, low-fatigue days. Offer seasonal maintenance bundles and emergency blowdown response.
Rustic Event Decor Rentals
Produce log rounds, cake stands, aisle markers, signage blanks, and arbor elements from locally sourced wood. The bar’s smooth cut reduces sanding on visible faces, improving turnaround. Rent as curated packages with delivery/pickup; add an upsell for custom carved names or dates.

Live-Edge Wall Shelves from Urban Prunings
Harvest small-diameter limbs and trunk sections, then rip narrow slabs with a compact chainsaw mill attachment on the 16 in., 0.325 LP, 0.043 gauge bar for a thin kerf and smooth finish. Sand, oil, and mount with hidden brackets for floating live-edge shelves that highlight the wood’s natural character.
Chainsaw-Carved Garden Totems
Use the low-profile chain’s smooth, low-chatter cut to carve owls, mushrooms, or abstract totems from 8–12 in. logs. Add texture passes and shallow detailing that the narrow 0.043 in. gauge enables, then finish with torch-and-brush or exterior oil for durable yard art.
Rustic Log Stools and Side Tables
Cross-cut stable log sections, flatten faces, and add recessed handholds. For style, notch decorative inlays or carve simple relief patterns. Top with a sanded slice or resin-coated round. The 16 in. length provides good control for consistent, square cuts on small to mid logs.
Branch-Peg Coat Racks
Select forked branches, cleanly limb and trim pegs with the smooth-cutting LP chain, then mount onto a live-edge backboard. Finish with matte polyurethane or hardwax oil. The slim kerf minimizes tear-out on small branch work and reduces sanding time.
Hollow Log Planters and Lanterns
Bore and hog out the center of short log sections, then carve vent slots or geometric light windows. The narrow-gauge bar helps with controlled plunge cuts. Add a glass insert or liner for candles or succulents, creating dramatic patio accents.
