ok wolves, i need your help

so i ahve looked everywhere i can think of, so i turn to the wolfpack to help solve this dilema.
I would like to find a hand saw for cutting wood, kind of like dick prenoke had when you saw him sawing tree trunks, i would imagine it it be 3 ft long or so.
I try to do things primitive, and i get strange looks for it, but currently i chop donw the tree with an axe and then buck it into 8 ft sections and carry it back, sometimes about a half mile, but i am using a bow saw to cut it into wood stove lenghts and i do not like the saw.
SO i was wondering if any of you would know what i am looking for and where to find it.
thanks for your help

Are you looking for one like this?

I think you are looking for a "One Man Crosscut Saw". They come with or without the second handle like in Crash's pic. Here's a place you can start with but you can google One Man Crosscut Saw and should find lots of options. If that's what you want.

It is. I haven't repaired the handle yet, but tried it out when I got it. It sawed through oak without any problems. I originally got it to use for knife making material, but have grown kind of attached to it. I'll probably pick up one or two more.

Crash - You can replace your handle here:

Thanks.

The guy at the flea market had quite a few with no handles at all and quite a few that were in pretty good shape. This one is 40" overall length. He had some that were quite a bit bigger.

I have a smaller, 3 footer. It's curved for limbing. It does a great job. Goes through wood like hot butter.

I've got a few of those - different variations. They came with the house! :)

Here is a link to new saws. My large saws are flea market rescues and a lot of time with a wire brush and a file.

I have an old jack's saw in the attic. the two man kind that is about 6' long. still nice and sharp, and it came with the house too. My great-grandad was a carpenter and that was a long time before they had power tools, so I sort of inherited a bunch of his saws and chisels, etc. like the one in crash's pic. I have a curved one around here somewhere like Rick suggests, and that's what I would recommend for firewood, unless you have some help, then I definately recommend the two-man crosscutter. My grandma said he could cut a tree into planks with it, then use his drawknife to smooth them into nice boards. He was quite a handy fella with old tools. Too bad I didn't get to know him very long.

i have some real great antique draw blades, but as i usually cut alone i need a saw i can work easily myself, good leads with these links tho boys.

The saws at the flea markets here all have pretty country kitchen scenes painted on them <yak...hurl>

I have one of those saws. It has a top handle too.
Grandpa said it was his ice saw.
Needs a new handle. Thanks for the link!
