Nice piece Stewie. What does it weigh?
Cheers,

For those that have read my thread on the use of a machine vise to fine tune the tooth set, 4 layers of masking tape on each jaw was used for this backsaw.

I should also mention that I am a strong proponent of adding the tooth set before final sharpening takes place.

As a general rule, where the saw plate exceeds 0.025 gauge, I do recommend the use of fleam on a backsaw that's dedicated for cross cut work.

Nice work Stewie, I got your PM, thanks. For some reason I have plenty of Jarrah, but as you say, you need to be a bit selective about getting a good bit. You got a real gem with that one.
I like to look of the saw, I bet it's a real delight to use.
