Thread: Changes to handle shape.

For those who may remember the previously completed backsaw I posted photo's of, I made comment that I wanted to make some changes to the shaping of the handle as well as move from 2 to 3 saw bolts.

Here's a reminder of that handle shape.



To make it must easier to visualize the changes I have now moved to I have overlapped this new handle template over the earlier shape used. As you can see these changes included a slightly larger cheek to accept that 3rd saw bolt; the grip length has been made longer to further increase the range of compatible hand sizing; as well I have lowered the top profile from beak through to the top horn.



Now onto my latest backsaw build using this new handle shape. The handle wood is again black walnut; and the saw plate has been sharpened 16tpi soft rip.
