Saws tho other ones
I've seen here an other places a great interest in hand saws.especially the older ones.
There seems to be a lot of interest in the older British and America saw makers of the past.
But I'm curious to know of other countries nations ie France Sweden Russia to name a few ,they all made and still make great furniture .
What did there saws look like ,we're they the same has the British American saws.
Handle designs saw tooth geometry hang angle
??
I know of the Japanese pull saws .
But there seems little interest in the European makers of past .
Or I just haven't seen any high possibility there .

From what I gather most European countries use(d) bow saws for nearly all types of sawing from fine furniture to logging.

I didn't even think off the humble bow saw
I was in my ignorance thinking of just panel saws and back saws.

There is a picture of a russian saw and some indigenous australian saws as well.
the evolution of surgical saws here is interesting
Chinese bow saw history here
Nice summary here usual suspects including Holtzafppel and Roubo

Nice call ... yes I too forget about the bowsaws.
Here's a saw in a Durer painting (Melencolia) with a super-hot plane ... 1514 ! Greatest Secret in Melencolia
I remember I posted a screen shot from I think Ben Hur??? ... they had a MASSIVE bow saw ... maybe 6' x 20' or something ... suspended from a framework and swinging ... cutting marble or sandstone blocks.
Cheers,
Paul

I said "painting" ... but I guess that would be a woodblock?
That guy looks like me a few minutes after actually starting something.
... minus the wings. 
Cheers,
Paul
Knowing the internet ... lets save that here ...
