« Part 4: Posting pictures - try number 2 Part 5 of Dovetail Saw Rehab series no next part

Well I have now finished the rehab of this old dovetail saw. After much sanding, I put some finish on it. I had planned on using tung oil, but changed my mind and applied 4 coats of laquer. Here is the handle after applying finish.

Now for some pics with the handle installed. I think it turned out well. I will post as a finished project as well.

I can only see the top photo but it’s so large I can only see part of the handle. but from what I can see it looks great.

You should probably compress your pictures for use on the web. Somewhere in the picture manager you use is the ability to do that. I use Microsoft Picture Manager and “Compress Picture” is in the menu under Picture at the top. I would use the compression selection for “Web Pages”.

Ithe bottom of the handle does look nice.

Nice job on the handle.

and view image you can see the full pic.

Have your say...
