bucksaws
Frame-mounted wood saws
A bucksaw is a hand saw with a blade held taut in an H-shaped wooden frame, used for cutting logs and firewood.
The frame keeps tension on the blade, allowing for efficient crosscutting.
We spent the morning with the bucksaw, cutting fallen branches into fireplace lengths.
