    One of my sons got me a Northern Tools firewood sawhorse for Christmas. Here's the link:

    The sawhorse seems to be pretty rugged. The steel is heavy gauge with a nice finish. It is well designed, easy to put together and take apart, and the legs fold into the body for storage. The only wood I had to practice on were some branches trimmed from fig and pear trees, but it worked great for those. (Pictures below, but out of order. Picture 1 shows how compact the sawhorse is when folded up, and picture 3 should come before picture 2 .) I wish I had this last year. Will make cutting easier on your back and save time. As always, one has to be careful, but I have the feeling this will be safer than leaning logs on top of each other. There is a rail to hold the wood down, but it might be a good idea to add a bungee cord for the same purpose. IMG_3046 rev web.jpg
