1. sawbuck

   A sawbuck is a term with two main meanings. 1. It can refer to a stand for holding wood that is being cut with a saw. This structure, often shaped like an 'X', is used to elevate the wood off the ground and hold it steady for safety and precision in cutting. 2. In American slang, a sawbuck also refers to a ten-dollar bill. This usage originated from the resemblance of the Roman numeral for ten (X) to a sawbuck device.

1. Sawbuck

   A sawbuck is a device for holding rough wood so that it may be sawn into pieces of length usable in a stove or fireplace. Easily made in the field from rough material, it consists of an "X" form at each end, plus a third in the middle, which are joined by cross bars below the intersections of the X's. The stock to be cut is placed in the V's formed above the intersections of the X's. A sawbuck is very simple to build. The five "V" sawbuck was designed with 10 vertical 2x4's, each four feet long, and four horizontal, five foot long 2x6's, secured with 3.5 inch wood screws. It was designed this way in order to cut two or more smaller pieces of firewood in rapid succession. A sawbuck should be heavy enough to negate any kickback from the saw while cutting. Building a sawbuck that is too light could result in injury as it may tip over while cutting, especially with a chainsaw. In Canada and Britain, but not in the United States, a sawbuck is called a saw horse; a sawhorse in the United States is a similar device used to support wood planks.
