Thanks Niels.
Saw teeth have been sharpened and set. The backsaw was then tested to make sure the set was balanced each side of the saw plate. http://d1r5wj36adg1sk.cloudfront.net.../2thumbsup.gif

Nice work Stewie!
Have you ever considered selling one of your backsaws in SMC's Classifieds? So many of us have watched and cheered your saw builds that I bet one would sell very quickly!

Hi Fred. I am quite happy to rely on private pm's to sell my work. The $$$ are not a high priority.

All done. The true color of the handle wood is much darker than the photo's suggest.

Given a couple of days the brass back and saw bolts will darken to a more tarnished patina.

Incredible Stewie! That's one of your best efforts!
Simply beautiful Stewie! Everything about it is in perfect harmony.
Thanks Kees. 19 to go.

I found it interesting to compare the way I choose to shape the lambs tongue connection, to that used by Disston's on their earliest backsaw design.

The earliest Disston backsaws had no medallion and the handle was shaped unlike those of later saws. This one has the beak at the top of the handle, which was not used on Disston handles for long. The lamb's tongue at the bottom of the handle was part of the design until the 1850's.http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/backsawpage.html
