Origin of the saw and early mills across Europe
Apollodorus notes the saw began with a talus jawbone used to cut wood, inspiring an iron instrument. The first clearly known sawmill appeared on Madeira around 1400, then Breslau. England had none before 1463 when a Dutchman built one but abandoned it. Sawmills later arose near London and in New York.
