As many already know I haven't been taking any custom orders, due to various issues. From time to time I just rebel and wander back to my shop or find another distraction to take a break.
I recently had an opportunity to wander to the shop, clear out a lot of spider webs, literally, and finish a few saws I had started quite some time back.
I had not posted any thing for a while, so I thought I would trow up a couple of pics here. Providing I can figure out flicker, etc.
They are resin infused maple burl, a Bog Oak set, and Mahogany. They were all filed 16ppi x 10* rake x 0* fleam. O.020" plate

Well back to work.

Beautiful! I have one of your early tenon saws. Love it! Whenever anyone comes in the shop, they see it next to the other saws and remark on how unique it is.

Wow!!! You have taken saw making from a craft level to an art form!!!!! Love the maple burl and the way you have flared and removed all the sharp edges on your handles..much more comfortable to use IMO!!!

Wonderful work Ron. Keep 'em coming. I only have one of yours and it's lonely for a playmate!
