Latest Work: My take on an early Kenyon Saw

Chris Schwartz of Woodworking Magazine and Lost Arts Press has been writing quite a bit lately about an interesting little saw he was shown at the Woodworking in America conference. Thanks to the photos and templates he posted, I was able to create my own version of the saw.

I had a dovetail saw that I made a year or two ago that desparately needed a new handle. The old one wasn't very well made--not my best work. I rarely used the saw because of this, so the saw was a perfect candidate for a new, Kenyon-style handle.

I do love figured walnut, too....
