Claude Casper Poulan (1915–1995) of Monroe, Louisiana was the founder of Poulan Chain Saws and the inventor of the bow guide. In 1944, Poulan was supervising German prisoners cutting pulpwood in East Texas. At the time this task required three men, two to operate the chainsaw, and a third to operate a pry pole, utilized to keep the chain from binding as it cut through the trees. Poulan utilized an old truck fender and fashioned it into a curved piece utilized to guide the chain. The "bow guide"
