Alexander Lukashenko attended the third firewood chopping championship among journalists.
During the competition, the President presented a new Belarusian-made axe.
The head of state also held a master class on chopping firewood, his press service reported .
Speaking about his own method, he drew attention to the fact that in order to effectively chop wood, it is necessary to choose the appropriate axe.
The President said: after choosing an axe, you should examine the block, find a crack and chop along it, the fibers hold weaker there, so it will be easier to chop.
You have to chop slowly. It is very important to look at the point where you want to hit with the axe, he recommended.
The head of state also demonstrated several axes that he uses for chopping wood, including a new Belarusian axe.
Lukashenko described the latter as “not bad”, a little heavier than its foreign counterparts.
He recalled that he had previously ordered the production of a domestic axe, the first version of which was released at the Minsk Tractor Plant.
But then, the Belarusian leader noted, the product was not entirely successful.
