Wood-Mizer Announces Personal Best Contest Winners
Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) December 12, 2013 -- Wood-Mizer LLC, the world’s leading sawmill manufacturer, has announced the winners of their 2013 Personal Best Contest, a long-standing tradition that recognizes Wood-Mizer sawmill owners who have fulfilled their dream projects by sawing their own lumber.
The contest, which occurs every two years, is open to any Wood-Mizer sawmill owners interested in competing for their share of the $20,000 in prize credits which is awarded. The 2013 contest marked the most Personal Best entries Wood-Mizer has ever received.
Each entry was judged on creativity, originality, complexity, quality of workmanship, and overall use of the Wood-Mizer sawmill to complete the project. First, Second and Third Place winners were named in each category.
Nicholas Spooner of West Topsham, Vermont was awarded First Place of Category 3 for his nearly 4,000-square-foot barn. Nicholas used over five different types of wood for the project and 99% of the wood needed was cut on his Wood-Mizer LT40 Hydraulic.
Richard Cloutier of L’Ange-Gardien, Quebec was awarded Second Place for his carpentry workshop. At age 65, Richard was able to complete the project of his lifetime by using his Wood-Mizer LT40 Hydraulic to cut 100% of the white pine needed for his dream workshop.
Ralph Klein of Scottsville, Virginia was awarded Third Place for the dairy barn he built for his family farm using his Wood-Mizer LT15.
