ABOUT RICHARD BOWNESS LIMITED
The Truncator sawhorse was invented by Richard Bowness, a retired builder from the Lake District, to solve his own problems of a hungry woodburning stove and a bad back. Filling his wood store was a chore rather than being enjoyable, so he made a unique sawhorse that both made chopping logs faster and saved his back.
Realising there were no other sawhorses available that were as fast, safe or back-friendly, Richard and the Truncator team spent two years developing the product, refining the design to make it as efficient, safe and durable as possible.
Best Product at the CLA Game Fair 2013
The Innovation Award at the CN Group Business Awards 2014
You may also recognise the Truncator sawhorse from Dragon’s Den, which was an unforgettable experience for Richard and his right-hand man Steve. The Dragons loved the product, but unfortunately Richard and Steve couldn’t remember their figures (a classic error on Dragon’s Den). Despite not getting a Dragon, the phone started ringing the second the programme had finished!
The timber is held tightly in place with a quick-release securing cord, keeping the load held firmly in place throughout cutting. The cups also have a patented shape that causes the timber to keep dropping further down into the base of the cup during cutting, instead of spinning back toward you and jumping out.
