SAW, Reginald Cole, Bonavista, 709-363-7975: The antique Newfoundland pitsaw is a traditional tool used in the lumber industry, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries, for converting logs into usable lumber. This method of sawing was labor-intensive and required two operators: one positioned above the log and another below it in a pit. The saw itself was typically a long, narrow blade with teeth designed for cutting wood efficiently.
