Does anyone know where I would find more info on Competitive Wood Splitting?
I know I can't be the ONLY person on the planet who loves to split wood? In fact, I enjoy it so much that I consider it a hobby. It's a great work out and a great stress reliever. Not to mention, it gets me out of the house.
Anyways........
I know Stihl hosts the Timber Sports Series where guys with fancy special made race axes go to work on pre selected soft woods and here we have the "Chop In" (I would love to get to one of these), but no one actually splits wood competitively......
My vision would be a man (or woman), their axe, maul and a wedge with a pile of wood. A time limit is set between 2 & 3 minutes where the competitor has to not only split but stack the wood. The wood is then weighed and the individual with the heaviest pile would win.
Time would be a factor but I would love to see the competition start with a tree the had just been felled and the competitor has to chop it into firewood size logs and then split it up. I know this would require more than a few minutes to have a fun contest but from a spectators perspective, I fear it would take too long.
So..... Am I alone or does anyone else know where I would find some info?
