Up and Down Water
Powered Saw Blade

An early blade from a water powered saw mill. This fragment from a broken blade was given a second use as the cutting edge of a horse powered cellar scoop. In Colonial America, cellars were dug using a scoop pulled by a horse. The leading edge of the scoop was protected with iron. Notice the round holes used to attach the fragment to the cellar scoop. The fragment measures 48 inches.
