Hickory Bow Saw

[KenOfCary]

I finally finished my Gramercy Bow Saw kit. The kit consists of the pins and three different blades for the saw. I made mine out of Hickory that I got from Jack (saw4you) and some Mahogany that I got from Andy (carvedtones) for helping him move some cut-off pieces he bought. I used the Mahogany to turn the handles and the string tightener piece.

It works very well.

I used the Beall buffing system on the Mahogany pieces and just some Arm-R-Seal Oil and Urethane on the Hickory.

Nice! Looks really good, and it'll have that "I made it" feel every time you use it.


Now that you have a bow saw, you should definitely be able to do this:

Something anyone with a home made hickory bow saw should be able to do in their sleep...

Tage Frid also uses a bow saw to cut dovetails. Saw that on the video that comes with his 3 volume woodworking treatise.
