Underhand is a "maybe", there's only myself and Boogieman142 doing any chopping up here. Hopefully we get a few more people willing to chop, if not it may be just an exhibition.

Lets see if I can make it on the right day this year. Aric-call me about those axes.

Chopwood, It's on a Saturday. Saturday July 4th 09......that falls on a saturday this year. I hope you can make it, it would sure add to the show..........I just don't want to be in the same heat against that 3120 you got:jawdrop:

 

[Chopwood]

I'll probably just run my 272, I can cut 8x8 in three flat with that.

 

[Boogieman142]

I was talking to troutfisher earlier and if theres enough people then maybee we could do a "homeowner" class or a "antique class". I was thinking for homeowner smaller than like 45cc rear handle saws and for antique something like first year model run 1970 or older. If anyone is interested in either of these let us know.

I sold Cale my stock one with a pipe. It's faster than anything 99% of the guys here have, but the slowest one I had. BTW, I still have three left. Maybe I'll bring the YZ125 I just finished up.

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

Jack I wish, I don't have that sort of cash to be spending on saws.

 

[troutfisher]

Maybe I'll bring the YZ125 I just finished up.

Yes! Bring it up, people LOVE to see Bikesaws.
