:: About

Anton`s Timbershow is  a Canadian style logging show with some modern chain saw techniques added . The blue and red team are competing in wood chopping , crosscut sawing, speed climbing, log rolling, axe throwing  and chain sawing. The main thing is to take care of the old logging tradition in the woods and to show this to people in a entertaining way. Anton`s Timbershow is recomended of North American Lumberjack Guide. Anton`s Timbershow (ATS) are located in Norway near Tønsberg and are doing timbershows all over Europe. Olav Antonsen (Anton) is educated as a forest engineer and worked for years  as a logger in the woods. Many of those years was also the work to be instructor for other loggers. Anton was on the national team in the world championships

for chain sawing 10 years and there he met the Canadian team. One of the members Bryan Couture  invited him to Canada and there he went first time in 1984. After that he turned over to the Canadian style of loggers competition. Since  that year he has been back in Canada  almost every year competing in the loggers sports. Based on the shows that Bryan is running in Canada Anton started this up in Norway. The idea is to show people how trees was cut in the old days with axes and crosscut saws and add on some modern chain saw techniques.  During the years Anton has developed some trilling chain saw tricks, and  the collection of racing saws are impressive. The chain saw competitions has resulted in  3 Norwegian championship, a world championship in limbing and a world championship in tree falling in Canada. But the secret for the shows success is how the duels with the axes and saws are made. Some great skills are mixed with some humour and good fun. A special thing is that this is a show for the hole family.  Even in countries like Polen where ATS  has had a lot of shows has been a great success even without that people understand  all the comments  we are doing in the show.   Anton`s Timber Show Melsomvikveien 299 N-3159 Melsomvik Norway Phone: +47 908 86 491 Fax: +47 33 36 58 78 E-mail: anton@anton.no
