Date Created22nd July 2019CommentsDorothy Wills Great photos hard to imagine how hard it must have been to use the cross cut saw to cut down these trees compared with the chainsaws that were used later

James Codyre You might be very surprised how fast a well sharpened crosscut saw could fall a tree with two good men on the handles.The early chainsaws were huge contraptions that needed two men to control and the chain oilers had to be hand pumped plus were very noisy.
