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

Your half-backs are the prettiest saws I've seen
Thanks, Curt

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.

Beautiful saws that are almost too nice to use!
That's a terrible idea.
What time?
