Just another tenon saw in Spalted tiger maple
Not the most glamorous wood in the world. But different looking. 11ppi, 8* rake and 0* fleam. An aggressive hang and filing but a robust 18" x 0.032" plate to discourage deflection at that size and filing.http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/...psuwo1biwl.jpg

Great saw Ron, did you do anything to stabilize the spalted wood?
Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

No. The wood was actually pretty solid as it was. I would love to have infused it with an amber coloration. But the wood was not thick enough to compensate for the warping the infusion process would cause. The spalted maple worked more like a big leaf maple or American walnut. Just a couple of little spots to watch out for while sanding. This saw won't be sold. I have a quarter cut beech blank cut out, for me. Some day.

A nice intersection of curves where the heel of the saw meets the lambs tongue.

Very elegant and way too good to be a user, I wouldn't sell it either.

Elegant's the right word, I think.
A question, Ron - how did you groove the spine? I'm imagining a small HSS cutter in a marking-gauge like holder. I'm just starting to add a few small flourishes to the metal work on my saws, nothing too adventurous, but that groove of yours looks snazzy, and shouldn't be beyond mylimitednon-existent engraving skills...

Ian,
Nothing more than a fine tooth slitting saw. Mine are 0.025" or 0.32"A marking gauge will work. Just slower. Best wishes.

I guess that would do it!
I've used my slitting saws in my crude sawing jig to do all sorts of things such as cutting out the sliding core for a my interpretation of a Stanley 77 mortise gauge slicing up 1/8" brass plate for the wear strips on marking gauge stocks, but it hadn't occurred to me to use them for adding decoration to things. Just as well some folks in this world have imagination! I've got a 1mm (~.040") blade, which I haven't used for anything else, but that might make a very nice little groove.....
Cheers,IW
