Over 330 clear
color photos display the wide array of equipment once used to log
high timber that are now eminently collectible, including axes, saws,
filing tools, springboards, oil bottles, undercutters, wedges, marlin
spikes, drag saws, and venerable chainsaws. Historical photos display
towering giants of old growth forests where loggers toiled decades
ago.
An informative
text provides useful information on cleaning and preserving the antique
logging tools, descriptions of them, values, and a bibliography. This
book will be treasured by all who share a fascination for logging
as it was done by the lumberjack, bucker, and high climber.
