Woodchopping at the Show
Peter Windley is a master woodchopper! We watch him in action at the Royal Easter Show and chat to him him a couple of questions about how he got involved in this sport, where does he see him see him self in the future and how he has perfected these skills to be world class! Peter started competing when he was eight, and has been competing for 30 years. But by day, Peter is a diesel mechanic.
The Sydney Royal Wood chopping & Sawing Competition continues to be a crowd favourite each year at the Show. In 2008, the world’s best will compete for the title of ‘World Champion’ in five events, including single handed sawing, double handed sawing, tree felling, standing block and underhand.
