Earlier tonight I came across two family photos I mentioned earlier in this thread.
The men in these photos are brothers of my great grandfather. Family members have dated these between 1910-1920 due to the inclusion of specific individuals in the photos. These were taken just outside of Gate City in Scott County, Virginia. Notice the stacks of freshly sawn chestnut lumber stickered to air dry in the first photo, and the hatchets and draw knives in the second photo.
When I come across them actually cutting a chestnut tree with one of those crosscut saws I will post a few of those as well..
