- History Of Use
- Although this saw is called a bow, it is also known as a 'Swede' saw, named after of the country it was founded in. It is a crosscut used for bucking up firewood, cutting small timber, and some tie cutting. If it was used for cutting timber, it was really small timber because the distance between the blade & the frame is very narrow.
