17th century Stihl?" Snigger These old guys were old enough to have only have chainsaws very late in their working lives One of them was quoted as saying after he dropped his first tree with one "If I had one of these when I started the country would not have had a tree standing" Which we can agree would not have been a good thing
I was at a meet where one 'chopper' took off his little toe. Untidy. My uncle, John Bentley, was an axeman of note and toured the country regularly, laying waste to logs at A&P shows, etc. I was intrigued by his axes and the degree of sharpness they held. Sawyer too. I have a special saw, 2-man and in perfect nick. My son and I use it to saw logs, Jack'n'Jack.
