History Of Use
A cant hook is a traditional logging tool consisting of a wooden lever handle with a movable metal hook called a dog at one end, used for handling and turning logs and cants, especially in sawmills. Unlike the similar peavey, the cant hook has a blunt tip, often bearing teeth. Source: Wikipedia, accessed 2017-11-03.
