Tree felling is one of the most demanding of the chopping events. Axemen chop notches into the poles to insert their jigger boards (steps) and cut through the log three steps above the ground. When half way through, they dismantle their boards, and start again from the other side.
This photo is taken sometime after an event and I have no idea what the gentleman is up to on top of the stump!
