Tiger Myrtle. (small hand size)
Slowly getting back into some saw making work.
Small hand size; Tiger Myrtle handle wood; as per clients request.
The handle shape after being cut out on the Scroll Saw; and the end grain sealed with shellac.
The handle shape will be worked closer to the line during the rasping stage.
Stock thickness(24mm).

Hi Stewie,
That handle will look amazing once you have finished with it,
Is the handle template from your pdf program that you use???
Cheers, Richie

Hi Richie. At this stage I am only using the pdf program to resize handle templates.
Look forward to receiving some feedback when you get the chance to test out that backsaw I sent you.

That Myrtle looks choice Stewie, can't wait to see what's under the paper.

The handle shape has been rasped to the line; the edge grain then squared 90* to the primary face; the saw bolt assemblies installed slightly proud, then flat sanded flush to the handle faces. My preference at this stage is to place a numeric mark on each of the saw bolts assemblies so I can repeatedly refit them in their same location.
The next stage will be to complete the saw plate slot, cut out the spine mortise, and then install the saw plate assembly.

Backsaw handle fitted to the saw plate assembly. The excess length on the brass hardback can now be removed.
Similar method used to align the saw plate holes to those pre drilled within the saw handle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAwAUWomd0I#t=11

If you have to rely on tightened saw bolts to prevent handle movement, its not a good sign.

Hi Rob. The point I was trying to emphasize; if you want to avoid sloppy tolerance within the handle fit, its preferable to follow the practice as outlined by Isaac Smith.
