Got this in the mail the other day..

12" long, 9ppi stamp. Might be a nice tool box saw
prototypes.jpg
Made two prototypes for a handle....second one might just do? Needed a bit of shaping, and sanding..

Shaped to fit my hand. Made the saw kerf with a 9ppi backsaw. Added a coat of Witch's Brew for the finish...needed to drill two holes for these to go into..

Ok, finish is dry, holes bored, bolts installed
new handle.jpg
As for that first prototype handle? It was just a cut down nest of saws handle....

Didn't want to just throw it out......
The "good" handle is White Oak
