Axes

In a misty pine forest in Gordon B.C., a large felled tree lies on its side with its cross-section facing the camera. A lumber worker wearing a white hard hat stands to the right of the felled tree with an axe in his hand. More felled trees and tree stumps can be seen in the vicinity. A plaque identifying the location, subject and date of the photograph can be seen at the top edge of the photograph.

A carved wooden figure of a lumber worker on a rough wooden base, presumably belonging to Herb Doman. The figure is stooped and bearded and wears a work shirt, pants with suspenders, work boots and a wide-brimmed hat. The figure holds a double bit splitting axe in his right hand and holds a two-man crosscut saw in his left hand balanced over his left shoulder. White string is tied around the figure's left boot. The figure sits on a glass surface near a brick wall with a window.
