Description: We see one logger cutting a tree with a two-handed saw in the woods of Green River. Two persons were needed to operate a two-handed saw. One logger(not seen in this picture)holds the other end of the saw. Notice the notch made with the axe. That allowed timber to be felled in the desired direction.
