Here, in verse by our resident bard MacMorna Niafer, are the 3 steps you must complete to qualify in this contest.
Grab that double bitted axe.
Give that pine tree forty whacks.
When it falls you better yell
"TIMBER", and then run like… well.
Next you've got to make it trim.
Every leaf and every limb.
Watch out where you swing that axe.
You'll give the others heart attacks.
Then you need to pull that stump.
Yank it out and leave no lump.
And when you're done, please take a rest,
'Cause that's what lumberjacks do best!
In other words: 1)cut down the tree; 2)trim off all the branches; 3)cleanly uproot the stump. The most innovative methods will draw the judge's best attention.
