Very nice Stewie. Your saws came to mind today while adjusting one of my saws' handle.

Thanks Jim. This is the same handle design as the previous open handle. I did reduce its bulk to give it a more refined look. I am very pleased with the end result.

I always enjoy seeing your work Stewie. That Myrtle is just beautiful!
Absolutely wonderful, thanks for posting this.
The hard back has now been secured in place; the makers mark has been stamped; the handle has received its final coat of shellac; and the saw teeth have been filed 12 tpi @ 8* rake angle. The performance of the saw has then been tested on rip and cross grain, with the set lightly stoned to fine tune the accuracy of sawn kerf. I will leave the shellac finish to further harden over a 5 days period before buffing it to a higher shine.
