These are three of my latest saws. This first one is the largest I have yet made - fourteen inches long with a 3 3/8" depth of cut. The handle is from one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I have had the fortune of working with. It is walnut crotch, and has some beautiful colors and patterns.

This is the little brother of the one above. Ten inch dovetail saw with a walnut crotch handle. The handle is patterned after a 19th century Taylor Brothers saw.

Finally, this is a new wood for me. Ten inch dovetail saw with a padauk handle. This was the first time working with paduak, but hopefully not the last. It was a pleasure to work, although the dust does tend to color everything it touches. Thanks to some friendly advice from Pedder, the screw arrangement on these dovetail saws is more to my liking than on my first attempt.

Thanks again for looking.
