Looks straight out of Little House on the Prairie
I found this wooden saw on some mining property. It was in the ruins of a smelter that been dismantled for timber and iron. I figure it had been sitting outside for at least 30 or 40 years. I stuck it under the porch of my shop to prevent further decay.
on close inspection it is well built despite the weathering. Mortise and tenon joints, some nice blacksmith work and the pulley that connected to the line shaft.
Curious if this was manufactured by a company or made locally by a skilled woodworker and blacksmith.
