KID’S LUMBERJACK
SPORT CAMPS - Come spend a day in the woods with us and learn the skills
of the American Lumberjack… free to all youngsters young and old.
Lumberjack events of X-Cut sawing and Log Rolling will be taught by the
Pro’s. Before chain saws were invented, Lumberjacks had Big X- Cut
Saws to cut the trees down… six feet long with teeth as big as a
bears. It takes two to pull these saws, you on one end and your partner
on the other. After you worked up a sweat pulling your end of the saw
you might want to head on over to the log rolling tank to try your luck
at log Rolling. Floating in the water is a big lathed turned log that
weighs over 600 pounds and it’s your job to stay on top and not fall
in. Looks easy… bring a towel, your going to get wet. Log Rolling was
a skill that was needed for lumberjacks that guided the logs down the
river in a Log Drive. It’s known as the favorite sport of the
lumberjack and is our most difficult event to learn. Want to try
again… just get back in line.
CHAIN SAW CARVING
DEMO’S - Chain saws were invented in the early 1950’s for the sole
purpose of replacing the x-cut saws that were used to cut logs. Since
then chain saws have been designed for many more uses including chain
saw carving. With light weight saws, special bars, a plain old log and a
lot of practice, lumberjacks are able to carve just about anything
imaginable including bears, eagles, chairs, cactus, mushrooms, etc.
Bring your wallet… the carvings are for sale.
