I'm curious as to "Bow saws".
I grew up in northern New England and we had several chain saws with "conventional" bars. About 25 years ago I was in the USAF and stationed at Moody AFB in Valdosta, GA.
In south Georgia it seemed there were a significant number of folks running a bar setup I had never seen. It resembled a rounded triangle and they told me it was a "bow saw".
Lots of things are different in the south, and already having been labeled "a Yankee", I didn't want to show my ignorance of the "bow saw" and be ridiculed for that, as well as my (lack of) accent and aversion to boiled peanuts (I still think they're gross).
Now I divide my time between Utah and Montana and I've never seen a bow saw out here at all.
So, what's the deal with the bow saw?
