Page "Sawbuck" Paragraph 1

A sawbuck is a device for holding rough wood so that it may be sawn into pieces of length usable in a stove or fireplace.

Easily made in the field from rough material, it consists of two " X " forms, one at each end, which are stabilized by a central piece.

The stock to be cut is placed in the upward facing " V " s of the end pieces where it may then be sawn.
