Heavy Duty Wood Bow Saw - Gardepot A wood bow saw is a handheld saw used for pruning small to medium-sized branches or cutting down trees. Bow saws usually function when the size of the branch has exceeded the capacity of the pruners and shears. This tool is called a bow saw because it has a bowed handle fixed to the ends of the saw blade. If you hold a bow saw sideways, it resembles a bow and arrow.
