I am in the process of changing the handle on my son's gent's saw. The turned/in-line handle just hasn't been working well for him.
He picked out a piece of quartersawn red oak,and I downloaded a pattern from Blackburn Tools (thanks, Isaac!).
The handle isn't quite done yet: I only have the pilot holes drilled for the bolts and I haven't yet let in the spine. I am presently using the gent's saw in question as a drying rack for the handle.
As this is the first backsaw handle I have ever made, I would appreciate some constructive criticism; what can I improve (either on this handle or the next) and is there anything I messed up?
Thanks in advance.
