ABSTRACT:
A curved log to be sawn lengthwise by a vertical saw blade is supported for a time, near its center of gravity, by a device which permits the log to rotate about its axis, and thus find an orientation at which the plane of the curve of the log axis is vertical, so as to maximize yield from the log. The device also includes drive sprockets which operate, at certain angular positions of the device, to move the log lengthwise.
