Each Saturday morning I review 10 vintage logging, forestry and saw milling photos. This week’s review of vintage logging is an assortment of photos in the logging and lumber industry of axe men, most from days gone by.

In your photo of June 27, 2020 which shows “Seven woodsmen with a large tree.”, I count 8 individuals in the photo – is one of them just a tag-along?
