Some bow saws we made.









And a old Swede saw i`ve had for years with a new paint job.

Thanks Daniel, that one has a wire on it that just stays wound at least so far.
It also has a metal cutting blade in it.

Thanks Jim. 

Thanks Bruce, i`m trying to do as many things i can while i`m still kicken.
Be day today we moved the 9x5 train table from the garage to the shed and did a lot of cleaning but hip starts hurting so had to quit.
I have some other cool stuff we made but i don`t want to hog the off topic forum.

Aw heck Lenn .... you ain't hoggin' nothin' ..... you're just providin' needed content to entertain and inform all the rest of us duffers!!!

Here's a part of my herd of bow saws. These are all commercial made units, the orange one being a Swedish Sandvik brand and the olive drab one being military surplus from some country, likely not the US, but maybe?

The little ones are just limb trimmers, but they work well for cutting up the smaller stuff as well.

I do have at least one other that I keep out at my rural property, as wood is the only heat I have out there, burning mostly Pinion Pine, which is real hard for a pinewood, so a good bow saw is a must out there too.

This last one was made by a fellow "named" Iron Hand, which I won at a Rendezvous quite a few years back. I've used it a fair amount while out camping and it has proved to be a very capable little saw, much like the beauties that Lenn has made.

Well, obviously again I can't get two photos up in the same post, so here is that smaller handbuilt bow saw that I referenced in the prior post.

Great job on that one  Daniel. 

I agree Lenn, the fellow that built it did a real nice job of it, but it wasn't me. I won that one as stated in the earlier post. I suspect that I could build one, but doubt that I'd do half as well as you have with the several nice ones that you created.
