When Andreas Schotel arrived in Esbeek, wood sawing was still done entirely by hand: the so-called “frame sawing” method was common at the time. A frame saw was used to cut planks or beams from a tree that was placed on two tall stands. The saw was operated by two people, one standing above the trunk and one below it. The nearby Dal Lumber Company donated this artwork to mark their 80th anniversary in 2017.
