(again) - took a few seconds for the penny to drop - it was "SWMBO out of the house" wot done it. It's OK - we'll support you if you have to defend your integrity...

Thanks WW. - I imagine it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it tickled my fancy the first time I saw a D9 (on the Disstonian site). Still not sure about that exagerated 'thumb groove' on the original. At first I planned to copy the original handle exactly, but I did a rough-up on some scrap to see what it looked like in the flesh, & I didn't like the look of it, so in the end I just used the tried & trusted template I've used on 4 or 5 other saws, & didn't try to make a real replica.

Have you started on any saws yet?

Cheers,

I have several blades stashed away, but I haven't got any suitable timber for handles yet (I don't want to use Ash ). TBO is going to take me to a 'wood shop' of my choosing one weekend and I plan on stocking up on some 'saw handle' wood amongst others.

Thanks for the quick replies Ray and Ian. That gives me some info and encouragement to resume work on my first saw.
