couple of saws - RonB1957 - 01-22-2025

I haven't posted for a while as I have been busy working on this run down circa 80s shack I live in. Taking a short break and decided to get to a couple of saws that have been hiding in a drawer as well as making a couple of saws for my last customer that has been quite patient waiting for me to make him a saw or two. If I can remember how to post this stuff I will give it a whirl.
First up is a triple loop dovetail saw in resin infused birds eye maple burl. 12" x 2" canted x 0.020" at 18 ppi.

2nd up is a 12" carcass saw from the same piece of wood. 12" x 3" x 0.025" 14ppi x 15* rake x 25 fleam. I made a mistake rasping and had to make the front bolt head 1/16" smaller than normal to save it.

Not the best pics in the world but you get the idea. These are all from maple burls I infused a few years ago, that were sitting on a shelf patiently waiting. These will be my personal saws,( among many )

A very nice set of saws.

Those are beautiful! The resin infused burl looks great.

They look really nice, Ron. The burl, esp. on the dovetail saw, looks almost disorienting in the pictures.

Thanks for sharing!

Those handles are to die for. Excellent craftsmanship. Keep warm!

Beautiful work, AKA "Functional Art!." Burl looks great - could you give us a thumbnail on the infusion process, please?

Thanks,

Doug

I will post something in a day or so. I lost all my files a couple of months ago when something killed my computer, monitor, and literally wiped my hard drives. A very bizarre event. So now I am "rebuilding" my system, software and all.

Ouch! about the computer issue. Once you get things rebuilt, I highly recommend getting an external drive or 2 that you only connect when you are backing up your computer files. Your efforts and pics are way too nice to lose again.

The saws and handles are beautiful. <words are so poor to capture their beauty>

When you get the chance, a thread on how you did the infusion would be appreciated by many of us.
