The days of old......
lumberjacks used different types of axes, such as larger broad axes and smaller felling axes, to bring down and hew trees. Broad axes were more commonly employed to chisel and hew a felled log into a square beam. Small branches and undergrowth were dealt with using brush hooks, which have a long, curved blade. In addition to axes, lumberjacks also used bucksaws and cross cutting saws to fell trees.
In honor of the lumberjack this "Paul Bunyan" was erected in Portland, Ore.
and a sharp axe was the tool of the trade.
Then everything changed when these showed up on the scene
and the sounds in the forest roared and were cleared in half the time.But you won't believe your eyes at this new invention....
Only in competitions will you see the skill of a man overcoming a log ..........
