I have heard that there is this type of event in the Western North Carolina area sometime in the fall?--I would like to go to one & maybe compete with one of my Mac Kart saws but I always find out that they happened after the fact!--Any idea when one might be scheduled in this "neck of the woods"?--Thanks, BILL IRVINE

Chris,

It depends a lot on work schedule, vacation time, and money. I've never been to Boonville, and I really, really want to make it up there before I get too old. I don't know if I can swing it this summer, but we'll see.

I wish there were some competitions down here in Texas.

Thanks,
Joel

There's a whole slew of comps in Arkansas and Louisiana during March and April. If you're interested, give me a shout. I'm coming to the Lousiana Forest Festival at Winnfield LA during the third weekend in March. It's about a hour and 1/2 drive from Shreveport. One of the local competitors, Charlie Bishop, lives in Tyler, TX.

All the best,

To the topic of the thread, it may sound rather cro magnon of me, but the only thing that turns me on more than women with chainsaws is women with axes........does that make me strange?

In all seriousness, my signficant other has followed me into woodchopping, cross cut sawing and chainsaw racing. She started out with cross cut sawing, then went to chopping. Now, she has pestered me for the past month to show her how to stock saw. I keep telling her that to be qualified ot teach someone how to do something one must at least know what they're doing. Well, that's stretching it for me. But I'll try nonetheless.

Awesome photos. Should be a calender made for us wood junkys - real women and the saws they run.

All the best,
Jamie

Can I adopt her?

...ain't she cute???????

Just kidding about the adoption part, although I would like to adopt a daughter some day...but that's for a different forum.

Here's another cutie though. How long before her folks trust her with the real thing?

I once met a young woman who told me she used her first chainsaw at eight and *bought* her first Stihl at 12. She's about 20 now and owns three Stihls. (At least that's what she told me...)

Check out the bar!

I saw this photo in an MSN group. The woman in the photo is Gabby, a chainsaw carver from Germany. But I can't believe the size of the bar on the *electric* saw. Can an electric motor work with a chain that long?

[MasterBlaster]

That's a photoshop, Joel.

 

[Mange]

I know men are compensating, you know long bar small p...

But a woman?!!?!

 

[Chopwood]

That's a photoshop, Joel.

looks like one to me!

"Gullable is written on the ceiling."

So it was a photoshop, huh? Boy did I fall for that.

Well, I think this article about women sawyer for the Forest Service is real:

Nor do I think these women chainsaw carvers photoshopped their stuff.

Also, has the Timbersports season for '05 started yet? Maybe it's too early in the year because of snow -- that white stuff I've almost forgotten about after living in near the Gulf of Mexico for two winters. I look forward to hearing from y'all about that.

Good luck,
Joel

Some good looking derrières there.

You just gotta love women, no matter what.

 

[Molecule]

Dr. ChainsawChick uses magnifying glasses when she works -- talk about precise cuttin' work - lol?

ChainsawChicks obviously got artistic vision ... and she obviously ain't gonna get kept down, so she should just jump right on up there and get after Leonardo ... do a carving ... How God made man!

Thanks for the links, Joel! I'm going to try chainsawchick's 'bandanas around boot-tops' trick...maybe my socks won't be stained orange anymore (osage orange.)

Joel,
Nice links. In regards to the "Timbersports Season", several events on tap coming up soon. In April, the Louisiana Forest Festival will be held at the Winn Parish in Winnfield Louisiana. Not to far from you I think? Believe it or not, the President of the Southern Axemen Association lives in Tyler. There's also a few other smaller contests in areas of Arkansas and Alabama in the following weeks. Then things move up my way in West Virginia for the Webster County Woodchopping Festival and the WV Forestry ASsociation's woodchop. Then the season officially kicks off with several events. I believe there's also an event the last weekend in April somewhere near Golden Colorado. I also believe there's an event near Missoula, MT during the first or second weekend in May.

Normally, in North America, the loggers sports events don't kick off until June. However, there are a few contests that come around before then.

All the best,
Arden Cogar Jr. aka Jamie

Well Che, I'm glad I could help.

What's been new with you? Been out cutting lately?

How are your Dohlmar's holding up?

Thanks,
Joel
