"Mystery" item identification contest!

[Plumbata]

Hey there people, sorry for the wait!

I was busy doing business taxes. And don'tcha know it, the excel file I was working on for 15 or more hours got corrupted. So that was/is kinda a priority for me presently. That or downing a 12 pack because "frustrated" really doesn't do justice to how I feel right now [].

Anyway, the item in question is a Wood Saw! []

TwoWheelFan hit the nail on the head with this guess:

ORIGINAL: twowheelfan

from the new image i have deduced that it is a type of saw.
the teeth are slightly askew much like sawblades today, but i do not know how old that tech actually is. so thats my guess.

I was worried that such an excellent explanation would give it away, but I suppose the item is so different from modern saws in construction that it struck many of you as highly unlikely.

If you look at the image of the teeth, you can see that each one is oriented opposite to the orientation of the teeth in front and behind. It may be crude and not very useful by modern standards, but they were aware of the virtues derived from using saws with set teeth for quite some time. Don't ask me specifically how they did it back then though. []

I will provide a better explanation and pictures along with a list of the people who submitted acceptable guesses soon, but my immediate focus lies elsewhere this evening.
