I hear what you say.
That is the same way I was raised and the way I have trained my son where possible.
Some are more mature/competent at 15 than others will be at 115.
I first used a saw at around 15 as well, under dad's watchful eye of course. Pretty soon he started going for walks to look at other trees/ logs, leaving me unsupervised for brief periods, then the walks got longer and longer until I was flying solo.
I still have all my fingers and toes.
Good to see your daughter involved too.

When my youngest was about 14 she sowed some interest i wanting to turn the car around in the yard. I sat next to her and explained the technique and away we went. She was very good, She would ask often and would oblige by sitting next to until one day when she asked i said OK but I did not join here but watched and guided from outside the vehicle. This procedure kept up until one day I did not supervise. She had proved to me she could be trusted and she rewarded me with being able to manouvre the car where ever she had to. She has her 'L's now and is turning out to be a good driver.
I think that you come to a point where you just know they can handle the job. If she was interested in the chainsaw I would not hesitate to use the same strategy with herJust do it!
Kind regards Rod
