One more saw
This is a ten inch saw in desert ironwood, a small tree that grows in our southwest. It is fairly dense and a touch brittle. It has some really interesting patterns going on in it - the customer calls it Jekyll and Hyde because of how different each side is from the other.
It had some live edge on it, and I was able to keep a little bit of it on the finished handle. The finish is simply carnauba wax applied with a powered buffing wheel.
If it looks a little backwards, it is because it is a left-handed model. The saw nuts and stamp are on what is usually considered the back side (there is no other difference).

Craftsmanship is excellent as always. I was admiring the saw on your blog thanks for sharing it here.
I think you made the right choice keeping that small section of rough texture. The wood is magnificent, will there be a set?…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Very clean and well balanced.. The outstanding feature is of course the spectacular figure in that desert ironwood.. Nice to see it going to a worthwhile application.
There's a left hander somewhere that's going to be very happy!
Regards
