"Saw Moose" Firewood Holder
An 8-ft. long 2 by 6 is sandwiched between two 2 by 8’s spaced 4 1/2 in. apart and mounted 2 ft. off the ground, supported by several vertical “wickets”. The wickets are 4-ft. long 2 by 6’s, placed on 14-in. centers, and attached at the bottom with another 2 by 6. The 2 outside wickets are 6 ft. long and buried 2 ft. deep in the ground. He just stacks brackets on the crossbar and cuts between the uprights.
“The first thing I put in the saw moose is a small sacrificial pine tree, and then I add limbs and branches until it’s full,” says MacDougal. “After that I bust out my chainsaw, and a half dozen or so cuts later I’m stacking a hundred pieces of firewood.
“It saves on my back and also saves fuel as the chainsaw only runs for a minute or so. Another advantage is that I’m willing to cut much smaller branches than if I had to saw them individually.”
