Description

An iron logging (raft) dog that has a sharp point at one end and an eyelet at the other.

History

Rafting logs are used to secure logs in a raft together. The pointed end is driven into the log, than cables are attached to the eyelet end and stretched across the raft to loosely hold it together.
