More than 250 illustrations depict these rare artifacts, such as tools for cutting down trees; those for splitting and sawing logs; sleds; wagons, log grabs, and lumber sticks for moving and measuring; clamps for holding and gripping; hand saws; chisels and mallets for shaping and fitting; instruments for sharpening tools; and much more.
