Cherrywood Saw.

[planemaker]

Hi all. Fellow saw maker Ron Bontz very kindly sent me a generous gift of saw parts including some very nice Cherrywood to work with. Attached is a recently completed backsaw with a Cherrywood handle. The saw plate length is 9 inches, 2 inches depth below the hardback, and sharpened 14 tpi rip tooth. I am hoping that Ron will be pleased with way I have shaped the Cherrywood handle.

When comparing the above photo to that of the previously listed Tiger Myrtle backsaw you can see I have used a slightly different technique to shape the bottom rail to lambs tongue. Instead of finshing flush to the face of the handle cheek, its now shaped away from the cheek face. In using this technique the bottom flat of the cheek can be reshaped to a more natural curve. Thank you for taking the time to view my work.

Regards; Stewie.
