Description
Nothing is known of the origin of this pit saw. It would have been used by two men holding the saw vertically between them, one standing at the top and one at the bottom of a saw pit. Such saws were in very common use for sawing trees into planks until the introduction of machine driven saws. It has lost its original handle and has been adapted for some other purpose.
