Here's another. Don't let the small bar size fool you - that's one big saw. And that's white oak - some hard wood there.

When you cut with the grain - as opposed to a crosscut in bucking logs into stove-sized rounds - you get a long stringy thing instead of a chip. Callem noodles. The boy loves hearing the saw start up because he loves playing in the piles of noodles when the cuttins done.



Here's an old homelite. Love the sound of those rugged old things. They're China trade nowadays. Not good - but top of the line back in the day
