Cutting the Timber A man lay down across the threshold of the kitchen outside, head within. He was to represent the saw. Two players now took hold of his feet outside, while two others caught his head and shoulders in the kitchen. They pulled against one another, forward and backwards, as if they were sawing wood, until one pair proved too strong for the other. - Irish Wake Amusements, Sean O Suilleabhain, Mercier, cork, 1967, p. 82. _
