Well, some more 'modern' stuff than what I posed above... a 2 handed early chainsaw.

And the sawdust burners that were so common here when I was a kid. They were everywhere we went in Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, California, Washington and BC anyway:

And a log raft in Portland before my time, but typical of when I was a kid there. I like this one because it shows the old Burnside Bridge which has since been replaced. The spans on that and the old Broadway bridge are sill used today out here across the Sandy and Bull Run Rivers. The ultimate in steel recycling.

And if you want big logs, this was in Washington state.

These are railed logs out of the Sierras in California I believe.

And the ultimate log which I believe is a Sequoia in California (yes, un-PhotoShopped and those are wagons and horses on the top)

Cutting with the boys back in the day.... this was a coastal redwood in NorCal, cut with hand saws. In southern Oregon I found piles of old broken saw blades like these in the pastures on our property mounded over after 100 years or so. I also found (or the rather, the tractor tooth bar found) rail lines from a narrow gauge rail that was run through there circa 1920.
