I managed to get a dovetail and half back out of the same piece of Macassar Ebony.
Half Back--0.032" plate, 10ppi x 15* rake x 25* fleam
Dovetail--12" x 0.020" plate,  16ppi x 6* rake x 0* fleam

I never saw a set of saws that look that nice before.  The ebony and the metals work really well together.

Your Halfback saws are a thing of beauty,

Macassar isn't the easiest stuff to work but the end results are certainly worth the effort.
