Bow Saw

[Climber]

Hello,
Is any one can share full information about bow saws. What is it? What is it for? Cons and pros ::> ETC.
Thanks

Bowsaw have been an optimum bucking saw in the southeast for years.  The insurance companies have about caused their demise, though you can still buy a bow bar and attach it yourself.

We've had several good conversations on Bows in the past.

Tom,
Thanks for all those links
I'd never seen a bow saw before, most of my time in the States was on the West coast.
I can see how they'd save your back. I just use a long bar and stand straight but it all gets a bit heavy at the end of the day.
With all the Safety rules down here they'd probably shoot you if you showed up with one of them here.

Thanks Again
Allison
