The saw consists of an iron cutting surface and is attached to a wooden handle. The cutting surface is a long iron piece with teeth down one side, each tooth alternately angled to one side or the other. There are two different kinds of handles. The first is a standard wooden handle attached to one end of the saw, which is used for cutting larger boards and trees. The other type forms a bow saw, with an arched handle attached at both ends of the saw; this is used for cutting smaller boards and limbs off trees.
