The big picture

Further information from yesterday's triptych of Jesse's chopping. Here you can see he has placed the three jiggerboards into slots he has cut into the 'tree'. From here, he cuts one side of the top block and removes the boards as he comes down. Then he cuts slots and goes up the other side, to complete cutting through the block at the top. Yesterday's image showed the result. If you look carefully, you can see his proud dad and uncle leaning on a pole in the arena and looking up at his progress.
Excellent shot
