We came up with a great new idea to get all of New York the lumber we need in a fast and simple way. We call it the eXacto lumber. The innovative piece of machinery has a simple smooth log to hold everything on, 4 wheels to make it move, and multiple hatchets for cutting. Also (not shown in diagram) there is a hook on the back to carry a wagon which may carry the lumber you collect. Using it is very simple and all citizens who need to cut wood will want one. Easy to use and efficient. Simply use the hatchet go up to a tree and spin. The tree comes down immediately. In a study done by the creators you get double the wood in half the time!
