bucksaw

H-framed woodcutter

A bucksaw is a hand saw with a blade held taut in an H-shaped or rectangular wooden frame, used for cutting logs and firewood.

The frame keeps tension on the blade, allowing efficient crosscutting of timber: He grabbed the bucksaw and started cutting the fallen oak into stove-length pieces.
