Modifying a saw

[mcourtney]

I have a 394xp and a 2095 Jonsered, I would like to send one of them out and have all the fancy work done and still be a reliable work saw. My question would be to you guys is which saw and why. Also does anyone in southern Missouri do this kind of work?

Check with @CCC4 he is just a bit south of there and has mentioned having saws ported and polished.  If you find a shop that does you well I would be interested in knowing about it, I have a couple I would like to have done.

Lots of guys that do very reputable work.
You might not find someone right in your area, it would probably be better to ship it out to a well known builder.
@tlandrum comes to mind, with his "wicked work saws"

   I am not sure where Pomme De Terre is, but I am near Cabool in southern Missouri. We will be having saw races this weekend, if you would like to stop by and run some ported saws.

ALWOL,

That is some beautiful country you are in, been to a couple of farms in Cabool.  If it was just as simple as picking up and going it has always been West Plains, something about that area I am drawn to. If it was just that simple.
