Just thought I would throw up a couple of saws to see what folks think.

Beauties Ron. The ebony against the brass and the plate is striking in contrast. I have always liked your details.

Love the madrone saw. Beautiful. Is it available?

Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.
I like the Ebony ones. If I didn’t have joinery saws I’d be tempted

The Ebony saws were sold very quickly. I would have liked to have kept those myself.
Ron, I'm just curious, but why didn't you make double the number of saws?
I'm just reminded of a line in the movie Contact, by the H.R. Hadden character, "First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?"
Many years ago, my dad made a mission style bed in solid oak for my sister, it would have been trivial for him to make two, but I didn't go for it, I wish I had. You can take a look at it here.
Hi Rafael.
In the last 2 months or so I have made 21 saws of different types, styles and sizes. That's a record for me. If I am not at work, that pays the bills, I am at work in my little shop. If all I did was make one saw I could make more of them faster. I do tend to do things in batches, but as life dictates, I do not have a CNC of any kind. ( yet ) So all my saws are rasped, sanded, and filed by hand. Besides...I am old and slow. That's my story and I am sticking to it.
Ron, I didn't mean to imply you were slacking off, but since you said you wished you had kept the ebony handled ones... Pretty soon you will be like Bill Carter, bidding on his own planes at auctions to try to buy them back
No offense take at all. Just babbling. Bouncing around like a pin ball lately.
can you explain what is the value of piercings? cosmetic only?
loops, just for show?
gorgeous saws...
what is cutting depth of the 18" at the handle?
Hi Bill.
The piercings are just cosmetic, unless you tie a string to them to hold a tooth guard on. They are high enough on the plate not to interfere with anything. As with the single, double, triple loops. Just cosmetic/ style. The distance under the tote on the half back is approx. 3".
Best wishes
Your prodigious skill grows.
Kudos
Wow! Especially like the ebony. I can see why they sold quickly.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
I can understand why they all sell quickly! I tend to favor the madrone and gents wood, but that’s just me. I like seeing a lot of grain. Someday, Ron, someday....
They are sure to make their new owners happy and proud.
