Project Information
I have had this old Disston backsaw around my shop for quite a while.
Although functional it was less than pleasing to the eye.
One evening while looking at it I decided to dress it up a bit and scheduled it for surgery.
I removed the handle and started working with my rasps on the old ugly handle.
After a bit of work this is what I came up with.
I believe the handle is beech.
Patterned off of one of my old saws it not only looks better but feels so much better as well.
I use this saw much more frequently than in it's prior life.
