Cross-cut saw
A long cross cut saw used for cutting sycamore tree trunks and branches into logs. It was operated by two persons holding vertical wooden handles, one at each end of the blade. The handles are in steel sockets attached to the blade by wing nuts at one end and large rivets at the other. One handle is longer than the other. They are possibly home-made. The blade has sixty five teeth of the common 'peg' or 'fleam' type, two teeth per inch.
