Actually those are the old style backs that were our first effort. The backs that we now sell have flat sides that taper in like the old style Disston and Sorby saw backs

See ya around,

For an update to this post, here's the finished saws from the exercise above:





Thanks to Dom for sending me those prototypes - it was a lot of fun "reviewing" them...

What is the colorization method Leif? Is that "as supplied" or did you apply something of your own?

Thanks,

Birchwood Casey cold blue. I think it was like - 3 applications? Works pretty well - not as good as hot-bluing, but can be re-touched.
