I don't recall you ever posting a saw build before. Are you branching out or have I been missing them?
Looks good either way. I need some of those sheaths.

Stav, It has been about 15 years since I made that one...The plate is from a new German made gent's saw...I removed the plate and handle from the steel spine and resharpened it..It had "pegged teeth" and wouldn't cut..I sharpened it and laminated a brass back on it and made the handle..Phil Baker had a saw with a wood sheath that caught my eye, and I copied the way it was made... Just 1/8" Baltic birch...saw is retained by a leather strap and a brass Ball- Stud I made on the lathe. I had planned to make a fancy one as this was just a prototype, but have not gotten "A round toit".
Edit....
Nordic was my inspiration...He was making some really fancy saws at that time.
As were a few other Woodnetters, one of whom went into business in Oregon with his sons and his name escapes me right now.

Bump the old ones with a piece of steel to leave a big scratch or dent and hence an excuse to rebuild.

I made this Windsor Birdcage Settee based on the birdcage armchair plans from Curtis Buchanan and a picture of the settee on his website. The legs, arms, spindles and crest rails are ash split from a log. The seat is white pine. The legs are turned and all the rest of the parts are shaped with hand tools. Many of the parts are steam bent. The tricky part was extrapolating measurements from the chair plans to the settee size. I’m pleased with the way it turned out.

Beautiful work, Tom...

I've started to make these flush cut saws. The 0.020" thick spring steel blade is sharpened for a pull cut on both edges, with teeth set in only one direction to prevent scratching of the wood surface.
This one shown in the photos is the prototype. It has a figured walnut handle and brass split nut fasteners.
After a warm reception from customers, I made some refinements to the design and ordered enough material to make fifty more. The first few will have quartersawn walnut handles. I haven't decided on the wood for the rest, but have a number of species to pull from.
If you are interested in one, send a message through the contact form on the Loon Lake Tool Works website.

Nice work, and a good idea!
