A timber dog is an iron bar shaped like a staple with points at each end. They were used in saw pits to secure logs so that they did not roll around while being sawn. One point was tapped into the timber and the other into the baulks under the timber where the sawyer stood. This timber dog was used in a wheelwright's shop in Quainton, Buckinghamshire.
