Description:
A hand painted two man crosscut saw blade that was done/painted by Teresa Summerskill. In the illustration it depicts logger men either attempting to cut down trees with axes or some helping out to lift logs up with machinery, in which there is a logging truck driving away with logs at the back; located on the far right. Judging from 021.10.05 with that illustration having logger men on spring boards chopping down trees while comparing with 021.10.59, more likely it is taken at a modernized setting (1940s or 1950s) where it has machinery lifting up the logs and loading them onto a logging truck. The colours of the illustration have browns, greens, blue, white, red, and teal tinges. The type of two man crosscut saw would be a lance tooth, due to the patterning and shape of the teeth on the blade (pointed ends). For donor biography see description for 021.10.01.
