Here's a part of my herd of bow saws. These are all commercial made units, the orange one being a Swedish Sandvik brand and the olive drab one being military surplus from some country, likely not the US, but maybe?

The little ones are just limb trimmers, but they work well for cutting up the smaller stuff as well.

I do have at least one other that I keep out at my rural property, as wood is the only heat I have out there, burning mostly Pinion Pine, which is real hard for a pinewood, so a good bow saw is a must out there too.

This last one was made by a fellow "named" Iron Hand, which I won at a Rendezvous quite a few years back. I've used it a fair amount while out camping and it has proved to be a very capable little saw, much like the beauties that Lenn has made.
