No I don't ice sculpt. Fyi ice sculpters use smaller saws with 12 to 18 inch bars. Some have special bar noses with small radii for detail work. Also, a lot of guys are moving away from gas to electric saws so they don't have to breath the exhaust. They also use angle grinders with saw chain wheels.
The saw in the pic is a 660, Stihl's second biggest saw. 5.6 ci and makes 7hp. It has the 36" bar. Tip to tip the saw is 52". Here's the kicker. The saw has never seen a piece of wood, I've neverhad to cut atree big enough to use it. I mostly use my 20" farm boss and arborist saws. The good thing is that I got the saw for free at a Timbersports show. I treat it as a showpiece more than anything else. Also keeps would be home invaders away

Stihl's biggest saw is the 880. 7.42 ci and makes 8.6hp and you can get up to a 59" bar on it. If you know what you're doing you can get a 6' bar for it. Now that's a big *** saw!
Though nothing compares to the hotsaws used in competition cutting.They race doing three cutsthrough a 24" log in mere seconds. Those saws are literally motorcycle engines with handles.

Here's another pic
