I believe the sash saw at Old Sturbridge Village movies at a 90 degree angle to the log, but the teeth have a little "lead" so they each do a little bit of the work.


Interesting discovery this evening. In the Visser book, there is a picture of a sash sawn board. This looks just like the boards I am calling sash/up and down milled. There is also a picture of what he is referring to as band sawn, with a much more pronounced saw mark. I beg to differ. I saw a two foot long board that started out looking like the sash sawn, and gradually progressed to looking like the picture he is calling bandsawn. These boards were salvaged from an early 1800's barn. I'll have to ask again, but I believe Jack Sobon dated the older half around 1820.
