Single Buck
January 1, 2014The competitor makes one cut through 19 inches of white pine using a single man cross-cut saw. The competitor may have a helper wedge his cut into the log to prevent the saw teeth from sticking. Time ends when the block is clearly severed.

Log Roll
December 31, 2013Now the log roll is our grand finale! It is the best 2 out of 3 rounds. These rollers will be balancing themselves on the log and spinning it, all along rocking it and kicking water at their opponent trying to knock them off balance. The first one to win two rolls wins it all!
Hot Saw
December 31, 2013Countless hours are spent selecting and tuning these two stock STIHL MS880 chainsaws to ensure we are going to have a fair fight here tonight.

Underhand Chop
December 31, 2013In this event the lumberjacks will be standing on a block and swinging a 7 pound razor on a stick just fractions of an inch away from their toes. The jacks will chop half way through on the front side, and then helicopter over to the other side and sever the block in two.
SpringBoard
December 31, 2013The springboard was the original lumberjack ladder. It was used to get above the twisted gnarly base of old growth timber. Once on top of their crude staircase they will chop 3 quarters of the way through on their strong side, but by rule, they must sever that block from the back.
Speed Climb
