I have a dovetail saw that I am restoring/repairing. It is an old one with open tote about 9 inches long. It cust well, but the handle is damaged and some “well-meaning” former owner, replaced the original screws and nuts with regular old stove bolts and acorn nuts. it just doesn’t look right. Anyway, I am making a new handle from some rosewood that I have on hand and I would like to replace with the appropriate type of screws and nuts. I imagine that this saw originally had the type with brass split nuts. However, the more modern type will be fine with me if I cannot find split nuts. Does anyone know of a supplier that carries screws and nuts for saw handles. I really want to try and find them in brass since I think that would look much better with the rosewood. -- Hey, woodworking ain't brain surgery. Just do something and keep trying till you get it.
