  More info on "springboards":
  
  "Logging - Springboard Marks" by KQEDquest
  
  
  "Hikers in Samuel P. Taylor will find the occasional redwood stump etched with divots. Loggers would cut these slots through the foot-thick bark (now worn away) and into the wood to hold springboards they would stand on when sawing through the tree's enormous trunk, which could be 15 or 16 feet across. Often the base of the tree was made of knotty burls that were difficult to cut through, so loggers would raise their cut several feet above the burls, making their task easier."

  Great old pics! Do you have any of lumberjacks using axes to fell trees? I'd like to use them as I tell a story about a competition between an old and a younf lumberjack.
