Anyone here have advise about a hand saw alternative to a band saw? I saw a frame saw with a turning blade on a woodworking site and was wondering if would provide low tech results in bringing a stave to rough dimensions. Any hand tool afficionados out there?

They have about the cheapest prices for toothing blades I've seen too...
