A couple more saws (Sold )
#6
First up is an 18" x 0.032" half back in Spalted Maple burl that was resin infused. Size large ( 4" wide hand )
I originally broke the lower horn but rather than gluing it back together I decided to just shorten both horns. Hence the reduction in price as I now consider it a "2nd"
Filed 11 ppi x 15* rake x 25* Fleam. $250.00 Plus Shipping

Next is a 12" Sash/ Carcass saw I have had hiding way down in the bottom of a drawer. The date on the spine is 2015.
It is a Bastogn Walnut ( if memory serves me correctly ) It is a size Reg/ Lg. with a 12" x 3" x 0.020" plate that was filed 14ppi x 8* rake x 0* fleam. A thin plate sash saw, basically. My hand is 3.75" wide and it is a little roomy but works. A 4" hand should fit nicely. IF someone wants it for a cross cut carcass saw I will file it cross cut 14PPI x ? rake  x ? . Your choice. I will also clean it up a bit for you. $225.00 plus shipping.

Geez. That was quick. Thank you.

Dare I mention I am finishing a match set of triple loop half back and matching triple loop dove tail saw. Both from the same piece of resin infused maple burl. It will be a couple of weeks before I finish those. I am retired slow, retired old, and spring time is coming.

Thank you for the compliment. I am not completely retired from this addiction, but will rarely be taking any " custom saw" orders. I could not keep up with them for some time, and the fingers don't like me some days. I hope to make some one off saws, from time to time, as well as normal saws. Case in point: I currently have( almost finished ) a matching set of two in infused maple burl. Triple loop  dovetail and triple loop half back. Mother of pearl saw bolts etc.. After that, if I get time, I have a set of 3 saws in matching infused tiger maple. Otherwise, down they go back into their deep dark drawer in the bottom of my work bench. Someday I may even get the rest of my work bench top cleared of saws.
