twister

twister nThen the binder of the hind slide was tied around the logs to keep them from falling off during the haul. A 'twister' was used to keep each binder tight around th the logs. A 'twister' was made from a 'rinned' fir tree and was about a foot long and about two inches in diameter. A twister was put between two parallel parts (of a binder) that were close and then these parts were twisted around and around each other until the binder bit into the rind of the logs.DNE-cit JH JUL 1973JH JUL 1973Used IUsed I1Used Ibitting stickSource listed in DNE as M 69-6
