Title A name given to the resource Tools From the Turn of Two Centuries: Double-bitted Axe & Chainsaw Subject The topic of the resource Forests Description An account of the resource Axes, both single and double-bitted, were used by loggers into the late 19th century to fell trees. The Rixford Manufacturing Company, founded in 1837, manufactured axes in Vermont and Quebec from 1880 until its closure in the mid-1950s. The company’s records are housed in UVM’s Special Collections. The gasoline-powered chainsaw, invented in the late 1920s, largely replaced the use of crosscut hand saws in the logging and wood products industries. Chainsaws are also commonly used by homeowners to trim, cut down and process trees for noncommercial purposes, such as firewood, landscaping and aesthetics.
