This black-and-white, silent clip shows a forest scene in which two lumberjacks in the 1920s cut down a mature eucalypt. The two men are shown inserting planks to create platforms roughly 1 m up the trunk, which they then stand on to chop down the tree. Using axes and a crosscut saw, they make a V-shaped undercut on one side of the tree followed by a back cut on the opposite side, and then, as the tree begins to sway, they run away from the direction in which it falls.
