Shop Made Bowsaw

Shop Made Bowsaw

This is a shop made bowsaw kit from Tools for Working Wood that I recently made. I blogged the build, if a bit sparsely.

All scrap ash left over from the Roubo build. Deliberately unfinished.

Derrek LeRouax home \| projects \| blog 127 posts in 187 days posted 129 days ago	Pardon my ignorance, but what does a bowsaw do? Is it special in some way, or are they based on the desire to complete projects with only hand tools? Don’t mean to be rude, just curious and ignorant. (Bad combo…) -- Derrek L.
