well here is a shot of my first bow saw its the plan from tfww. I love it it is a great saw and it cuts sweet. John Keeton made the handles for me he is a really great guy and awsome to work with. I had him put the walnut strip in so it would be easy to see the blade orentation I think adds a nice touch to the saw. He did an awsome job on the. As always im open to your opinion.

Great looking saw!
I like the maple toggle and the walnut strip in the knobs is a great idea, and if nothing more looks great.

Looks fantastic. I just got the kits pieces from tfww this past week. If I can get a saw half as nice that works I'll be happy.

Thanks for all the kind words. I have to say Johns handles really set the saw off for me. like I told John I could have used to sticks and a string and would have had a nice looking saw.... Oh wait thats pretty much wha it is.

Wow Gentlemen,

both of you did a great job on the saw! It looks just about perfect. As others I like the Maple/Walnut parts, too. They give a very nice and individual touch on the saw. Congrats!
