Single+Buck

=Single Buck=

This event is often considered the hardest discipline in wood chopping. The competitor pulls and pushes a razor sharp saw specifically designed for the event. A single sawyer uses a one-man bucking saw to cut through a 20-inch-diameter (510 mm) white pine log for the best time. A simialar event exists in the double buck. This is the same concept except it is a saw manned by two people and is much less difficult.



= Rules =

A helper may straddle the log and be used to wedge the log and keep the saw lubricated and prevent binding. Time starts on "GO" and ends when the log is completely severed.
