Claim 12

A wood buck comprising, in combination: a base comprising a pair of detachably connectable components, each component comprising a ground-engaging portion, an upright portion, a tube on said upright portion extending transversely to at least part of said ground-engaging portion, and means on said ground-engaging portion for detachably connecting said ground-engaging portions to each other; the tubes on said components being spaced apart from and in axial alignment with each other when said components are connected together; a log holder detachably connectable to said base between the upright portions of said pair of components, said log holder comprising a pair of upper and lower members which are horizontally and vertically spaced apart from each other and define a log-receiving opening wherein a log is supportable in cantilever relationship by said members; said log holder further comprising outwardly extending pivot members on opposite sides thereof which are axially aligned with each other, each pivot member being slidably receivable within a tube on one of said components of said base; and means on said base and on said log holder for preventing pivotal movement of the latter relative to the former.

Claim 13

A wood buck comprising, in combination: a base comprising a pair of detachably connectable components, each component comprising a ground-engaging portion, an upright portion, a tube on said upright portion extending transversely to at least part of said ground-engaging portion, and means on said ground-engaging portion for detachably connecting said ground-engaging portions to each other; the tubes on said components being spaced apart from and in axial alignment with each other when said components are connected together; a log holder detachably connectable to said base between the upright portions of said pair of components, said log holder comprising a pair of upper and lower members which are horizontally and vertically spaced apart from each other and define a log-receiving opening wherein a log is supportable in cantilever relationship by said members; said log holder further comprising outwardly extending pivot members on opposite sides thereof which are axially aligned with each other, each pivot member being slidably receivable within a tube on one of said components of said base; and means on said base and on said log holder for preventing pivotal movement of the latter relative to the former.

Claim 14

A wood buck comprising, in combination: a base; a log holder; and mounting means for mounting said log holder on said base; said log holder comprising a pair of upper and lower members which are horizontally and vertically spaced apart from each other and define a log-receiving opening wherein a log is supportable in cantilevered relationship by said members, said mounting means including adjustable means for adjustably positioning said log holder in different positions relative to said base whereby a log is supportable in different cantilevered positions.

Claim 15

A wood buck comprising, in combination: a base; a log holder; and mounting means for mounting said log holder on said base; said log holder comprising a pair of upper and lower members which are horizontally and vertically spaced apart from each other and define a log-receiving opening wherein a log is supportable in cantilevered relationship by said members, said mounting means including adjustable means for adjustably positioning said log holder in different positions relative to said base whereby a log is supportable in different cantilevered positions.
