I guess you never got my e-mail post.
I think 447 is used to hold small logs while splitting them to make
firewood for a wood burning or pot belly type stove.

This answer sounds right - it does look like a log holder. Yes,
please take some pictures, it would be great if you could nail this
one down for us.


Thanks,

Hey Rob,
I just realized I saw number 447 last weekend when I worked that
oldtime sawmill. Have you found out what it is yet? When I saw it, it
was attached to a complicated one-man bucksaw rig. I think I'll be
able to take a picture of the whole apparatus when I help with
cleanup next weekend. Want me to?
