ONE WOMAN CROSS-CUT SAWING

BOW /BUCK SAWING
One Jill uses an old-fashioned, bowed saw to cut through one clice. You must cut straight.... or you might not complete the disc. It is fast and furious!

HOT SAWING
Don't close your eyes, but cover your ears for this fast and powerful race. Two Stihl 046 modified stock saws, stinger pipes and all, are used in this event as 2 Jills try to best each other in a 3 cut race.....DOWN....UP....DOWN. Get rrrrrready for the action!

LOG ROLLING
This was the favorite event of the North American logger to compete in and still is the favorite to watch! 2 Lumberjills battle it out on the top of a spinning Western Red Cedar log! Out of all the skills we compete in, this is the hardest to learn as an adult. Agility, perserverance and stamina are skills needed to be a great roller....Thrills, spills and excitement are what YOU will experience!
