Shot on 8mm film in 1939, this vintage home movie captures a man in swim trunks at Long Lake, Canada, using an axe to cut a large piece of driftwood near the water's edge. The grainy black-and-white footage shows him swinging the axe and pulling the wood from the shore, with a prominent tree stump in the foreground. The natural setting and period clothing evoke a nostalgic, rustic atmosphere from the late 1930s.
