How to play

Set up one log or thick piece of lumber per team on a stable sawhorse, with one handsaw per team. Teams line up, and on "Go!" the first player saws until the leader calls "Switch!" (every 20–30 seconds works well), then hands the saw to the next teammate. The first team to cut clean through their log wins. An adult supervises each saw at all times: one sawyer per log, everyone else behind a marked line, and gloves and safety glasses for the person sawing.
