Noeline Pinn Great photo. Wonder if there are any photos of Mr Jack playing his cornet. Have a good memory of him with his trumpet and Dad on the piano playing the Post Horn Gallop!

Cynthia McCaughan Sorry to point out the obvious, but that is a saw, not an axe. Can you see what it says on it? I can't on my phone, sorry.

Glenn Johnston I'm curious and wonder if that was the world record for white pine (kahikatea) thus really just a NZ record. White pine is softer than many other woods used in sawing competitions overseas. Or was it won up against international opposition sawing non local wood?
