On this week’s podcast, we’re talking with special guest, Bill Challenger - president of Cannon Bar Works. In business since 1955, the company was founded by Ernie Cannon. Mr. Cannon originally started his work by making sawchain guide bars for Brunette Machine Works. They manufactured a two-man chainsaw called a TimberHawk just after the first world war. Bill became involved with the company in 1974 as a salesman for a homelife brand of chainsaws. In 1981 he struck out on his own, providing chainsaws to the logging industry. Soon, he became Cannon’s largest customer. In the late 80’s, Ernie retired and Cannon Bar was taken over by new owners, who unfortunately struggled. However, Bill was able to buy the business. He then re-branded the line and re-established their dealer connections, growing the company exponentially.   Show Highlights: Cannon Bar prides themselves on the quality of their products and it rings clear through their motto -“The best bar, bar-none”. If it’s not the best, it doesn’t leave the factory. Cannon Bar’s products lasts 3x longer than mass produced milling bars.   Cannon Bar And Granberg International: Cannon Bar is the creator of double ended milling bars for use on Alaskan mills. These bars have a cult following among Granberg Alaskan Mill users.   Contact Cannon Bar Instagram: @cannonbarworks www.cannonbar.com   Contact Us www.acresoftimber.com @sawmillbusiness Want more??
