Regular contributor David Babcock sent in two great photographs showing how wood was cut back in the day. The first photo shows a car (possibly a Dodge, judging by the shape of the rear fender where it meets the running board) powering a buzz saw, with the car on blocks and a belt running, it appears, from the inside of the left rear wheel to the saw. The second photo shows a family sawing winter wood. David identifies the engine as an early Galloway.
