Most chainsaw sawhorses also have a securing chain or retaining strap as part of their construction. This wraps around the log or branch being worked on, holding it securely and tight into the body of the sawhorse frame. What are chainsaw sawhorses made of? The majority of sawhorses are manufactured from either wood or steel sections. With regards to the steel ones they are usually made using round or square box section tubing. Are sawhorse portable?
