A preview of things to come. :)
My name is Form. I walk in the foot steps of Function because F.L.W. said I should. Shhh, don't tell. But when Function is not looking.... I dance in those foot steps.

Oops I looked. Beautifully crafted saw. The etching design is a work of art.

Great saw Ron. I especially like the way the lines flow together from the plate to the handle.
Cheers,
Rob

Tough call Ron, I like the extra slope with the strong scrollwork, which you have simplified. But I like how the original flows into the curve of the handle.
Have you considered having a straight to and the scroll on the saw side, how would that look?…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Both designs work, but I lean towards the first one.

Trying to keep the handles themselves, fairly standard. I make too many different handles as it is. I do have a couple more spine shapes I would like to try when I have time. There is always the issue of weight balance as well. The sycamore version has better balance. All things a work in progress. Thanks for the thoughts. Critiques are always welcome.
