Additional Details:
As soon as a giant tree has been laid prostrate in the forest, it is cut up into log lengths by sawyers, who operate eight-foot saws. These log lengths are to be dragged through the forest over a route where no preparatory work has been done save the clearing away of the debris, and so the log sections are "snubbed" or bevelled at the forward end, in order to enable them to travel over slight obstacles with the least possible strain on the wire ropes which are drawing them.
