The Sawhorse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sawhorse is a character from L Frank Baum's Oz books series. He first appears in the The Marvelous Land of Oz.
The Sawhorse is literally a sawhorse brought to life with the powder of life by Tip to carry Jack Pumpkinhead, whose wooden joints were wearing out from walking. He is a log with a notch cut in one end for a mouth, two knots for eyes and a branch for a tail. When he was first made he had no ears and could not follow directions, so Tip whittled him two. He also had a post installed on his back so Jack could hold on while riding.
The Sawhorse is one of the fastest creatures in Oz because he never gets tired.
