Good ol' one man crosscut saw. We've got two, though only one is kept in usable form. When they're kept clean and sharp, they do cut amazingly well. In a time when this tool was state of the art, they knew a thing or two about making saws work as efficiently as possible, because they didn't have the option of using "the motorized version" to fell and limb the tree. The motorized version was a drag saw (for sectioning the logs) powered by horses on a treadmill! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (most were only "one horsepower" too)
