woodchop

Cleaving logs apart

A woodchop is a competitive event in which contestants race to cut through logs using axes or saws.

Popular at agricultural shows and timber festivals, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, woodchops test speed, technique, and endurance: She won the standing block woodchop in under thirty seconds.

The term also refers to the sport generally.
