Abstract
A device for securing logs or flat work while said logs or flat work are being cut out of doors in situ. The device consists of a stand and a bow section mounted on a base which secures the log on flat work by means of judicious use of their center of gravity. The device may be adaptable to a wide variety of sizes of logs or flat work and is portable. In one embodiment, the device is constructed of metal pieces having hollow circular cross-sectional areas allowing the base and the stand sections to telescope by means of concentric sections, thus fullfilling the requirement of adaptability described herein.
