elcamino/wheelhorse 9,362 #3 Posted June 29, 2019 Bow saws are not a favorite of mine ( my father almost lost his foot using one ) but you sure have a big pile of firewood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These attachments were the mainstay of the Southern pulpwood industry until they were banned.Jim Winder is right to be leery of them as they do have a fearsome reputation.I put this one together for my wife,Beverly. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 67,260 #11 Posted June 30, 2019 I think any chainsaw used without full respect could be a harm to body parts. Jim I wish I remembered it was you who used the bow saws, we could have talked firewood for a long time! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,638 #12 Posted June 30, 2019 Craig, Thanks for posting the You-tube videos.I have seen those before and that guy knows how to use a bow.There are some clowns on the tube that do dumb things like felling trees with the bow.The only thing I do differently than what's shown is I run a full length bottom guard.A 14" bow with the right guards in place has far less chain exposed than a 14" bar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
