     The present invention comprises a rectangular base. Starting from the base there are upwardly projecting side walls, the said walls are tapered and slant inwardly. Two of the facing side walls are double and two facing side walls are single, the double walls have a narrow opening between the inner and outer walls, the two inner walls are vertical. The two inner walls define an opening at a distance from the base of the device. In the center of the openings between the inner and outer walls are triangular separators installed thus creating two slits in each facing double walls, the slits are for holding slats, the slats are slanted outwardly by the triangular separators, the two pairs of slats are aligned with each other. The logs to be cut are placed in between the slats and across the facing double walls. 
     OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES 
     The primary object of the device is to cut logs with a chain saw. Some of the advantages of the device is that it can be loaded with a plurality of logs to be cut; the cut logs will fall on both sides to the ground. The logs are prevented from rolling during cutting. The logs can be completely cut through. Other objects and advantages will be apparent to those skilled in the art, from the detailed description and the drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Referring now to the drawings, the device comprises a base 1 and four walls, the said walls are tapered and slant inwardly. Two of the facing walls are double defining an opening between the outer wall 2 and inner wall 7. The other two walls are single and their center is open. The inner walls 7 are vertical. The distance between the said inner walls defines an opening between them. The opening between the two facing inner walls 7 has a floor 4. In the center of the space between the outer wall 2 and inner wall 7, a triangular separator 5 is installed. The separator 5 creates two slits in each of the facing double walls. The slits are for holding firmly slats 3, because of the triangular shape of the separators 5 the slats 3 slant outwardly. The slats 3 are removable and slats of various heights are provided which are interchangeable.
