16-inch Tenon Saw

It's been some time since I put up my last post.  I didn't spend much time in the shop over the winter (or the spring) but I did manage to complete another saw.  I cut a couple of practice tenons with it and was pleased with the way it cut and followed a line.

This one is a 16-inch tenon/sash saw with 10 ppi filed rip.  It has 3-1/2 inches of plate under the back at the toe and about 3-13/16 at the heel.  The handle is black walnut with home made steel bolts and split nuts.  The back is folded steel like my dovetail saw only this one is about 7/8 inch tall after folding.

Shiny!

The last of the walnut from a donated 5/4 plank.

Sunflower engraved on the large bolt.

Clocking the nuts.
