Very nice looking Stewie. Gives me motivation to get around handling a few sawplates that I have lying around.

Cheers, Vincent

You’re a master, Stewie. Excellent execution as always.

I much prefer the older handle....
385521
D-8, 10ppi crosscut. 26" long, is a match for my 20" D-8, 10 ppi panel saw.

Is it my imagination, but isn't the Disston Institute calling 26" saws panel saws.
I thought panel saws were 20" saws.

Lie-Nielsen agrees.:)

And I have a saw bench.

It's hard to tell from photos; the camera often lies. It looks to me like the palm swelling in the back of the grip is higher on the new handle than on the original.

Is that true?
If true, did you do it on purpose?
If you did it on purpose, how come?
Does it work well?

Nice looking bit of work in any case.

You’re a master, Stewie. Excellent execution as always.

I'll second that.
