From the Aritzbatalde in Zarautz, the best wood cutter will leave on Saturday, starting at 6:00 p.m., not only with the ax but also with … also with the saw and the chainsaw. Euskal Timber arrives for the first time in Euskadi. Sixteen aizkolaris will face four tests, one after the other, and the winner will be the fastest.
First they must cut a 40 centimeter diameter trunk with a chainsaw; then, a horizontal log of 30 centimeters in diameter with the axe, and then they will return to the first log to make a cut with the saw. Finally, they will take the ax to cut a 30-centimeter piece of wood vertically. There will be rounds of round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and final.
