Great saw Stewie. Are the marks on the blade from taper grinding?

Hi Rob. Thanks for the kudos. The marks are a buffing technique I use that adds a pleasing grain feature to the saw plate.

Looks good Stewie, Walnut and brass are one of my favourite combinations.
How are your supplies of slit brass lasting, I need to get another run organized. When you get a chance give me a run down of what you will be needing.

Looks good, Stewie. I made my very first saw handle from a piece of Back Walnut - nice stuff to work with! #1.jpg
The piece I used came from near a branch, & had some nice curly figure. It has worn very well, must be about 30 years old by now - my grip is a bit spindly by my current standards, but not too bad for a first try - it was my favourite dovetail saw until a couple of years ago...
By coincidence, when I made my first saw from scratch (under Ray's guidance), I found the other half of the bit of Walnut I'd used on the first handle, so #2 got the same wood for its handle: #2.jpg
Cheers,IW

Hi Ian. Walnut is a pleasure to work with, but there is another timber that's harder to source in handle wood size that I like even more;
