For every man who has ever conjured up a picture of himself felling
trees in a roar of chainsaw noise and power, "The Backyard
Lumberjack" is an account of dreams fulfilled. Father and son
lumberjacks Stephen and Frank Philbrick have enjoyed the thrilling
destruction of felling, bucking, and splitting timber for hundreds
of cords of firewood. Together they bring practical instruction and
first-hand advice to every man with a chainsaw. Before there can be
any felling of trees or satisfying shouting of Timberl, every
potential lumberjack must choose the proper saw. The Philbricks
offer buying advice based on the quantity of wood to be cut and the
amount of time to be spent on the job. They provide diagrams of
chain-saw parts, functions, and maintenance requirements; tables
and charts of saw specifications and firewood volume; and personal
cautionary tales of on-the-job injuries arm potential lumberjacks
with the necessary tools to make informed choices. Chainsaw in
hand, father and son move on to detailed instructions on managing a
woodlot, felling and bucking, splitting and stacking, and even
include fun facts on burning. For every lumberjack chore they offer
advice on equipment (chaps, helmets, felling wedges, hatchets,
mauls, peeves), careful procedural instruction, safety and
efficiency strategies, and always their humorous anecdotes and
tales of tree adventure. For the rural lumberjack with acres of
wood- land, the suburban guy with a cord of wood to split and stack
for the fireplace, or the urban guy who just likes to think about
chainsaws, "The Backyard Lumberjack" is as much an engaging read on
the legends and experiences of lumberjacking as a practical
reference guide.
