Pichon men prepare a log for cutting planks. Once the log is securely in position, a two-man saw is used to cut boards from the full length of the log, a process that can take up to three days. One man stands on top of the log pulling the saw up, while another man stands underneath and pulls the saw down. Photo by David Smith, Pichon, 1999
