Ice Saw A saw that cuts through 18 inches of ice needs to be quite long! The person doing the cutting would pull the saw almost completely out of the ice and then lean over to push the saw handles to the surface of the pond or river. The harvested ice was stored until summer by packing it in sawdust from the local sawmills. Property of the Saugatuck-Douglas History Center
