My home-made Bow Saw:
This saw was made from a bing cherry tree that died in our yard. The
size of the saw was
determined by the length of straight members that I could salvage from the
small tree. All of
the wood and metal working was done using hand tools (except blade, nuts
and washers).
No sandpaper was used. The blade is a 26 inch length of a Starrett
1 inch wide, 3 tpi , hook
tooth bandsaw blade.
