Mikki, you might try Wayne Nevar, he lives on County O, between the Dells
and Portage. I don’t have his contact info but the Newport ton cler
k might.
Also have you contacted Paul Bunyan Restaurant? They have all types of
things related to logging and lumberjacks and the have the lumberjack show.
Perhaps you’ve checked that avenue. You might also ask Bud Gussel i
n the
Dells he has primitive tools maybe he can help.
We have a mutual friend in Scott Rawson.
