A miter saw rehab - new handle with the lambs tongue
I've been watching everyone making new saws, making them from kits, or making new handles for old saws so I thought I join in the fun. I also wanted to do a test run since my Wenzloff kit has an ebony handle. This is an old Lakeside miter saw. I made the handle from Grenadillo which is very hard so I should be ready for the ebone soon. I think the wood looks very much like east indian rosewood or maybe a dark cocobolo. Anyway, there were some mistakes and glitches but it turned out well for an initial attempt. I especially like the lambs tongue detail. I'll have to be more careful next time to make sure I don't have the chip out in some of the other places though, thats what the funny detail around the forward horn is all about :(Attached are number of photos so let me know what you think. The last one shows the inspiration at the top (and a stealth gloat), the board and the plan, and then the donor saw with the template and a Howard Marshall handle I used as a pattern.CheersPat
