Sawdust and Splinters

[Magicman]

PatD and I attended a nice event today.  Sawmilling, chainsaw carving, blacksmithing, timber competition, and of course eating.


 
Chainsaw carvers.


 
I found some logging boots.


 
And Pat found a new friend, but he did not come home with us....neither did the boots.


 
A 4 slab bench.


 
Another view.


 
Hot Saws.


 
Crosscut Saws.


 
Guys climbing and unclimbing poles.  90' poles.


 
And chicks on a log.


 
Now that is log tongs.


 


 


 


 
We watched a Blacksmith forge a steak flipper.


 
And it went home with Pat.

Thanks for the pictures, very interesting. Looked like professional lighting at the stage area.

That steak flipper looks like it has a bottle opener on it .

That Blacksmith is friends with FF member "Gadrock" that donated the items now being auctioned.  LINK

Notice any similarity??

That looked like a great event.  Where was it? 

This Logging Sports Event is held on Hwy 48 between Magnolia and Tylertown, Ms.  This is their 2nd annual event and is very well put together with many headliner carvers as well as Champion Lumberjacks & Lumberjills.

Looks like a great time, those carvers are really something else and I love the bench.

I look forward too the carving shows when there in our area. The pole climbers climb those poles pretty fast. But they come down them faster than if they fell amazing too watch them. Two thumbs up on Y bench. Thanks for sharing MM
