Project Information
The rosewood for this saw and the following saws was provided by a buddy. I made this as a show of appreciation for favors traded back and forth and whatnot. He also lasered all the logos on a 1/2 dozen or so plates for me. I should probably make him another just for that 
Alright, so. Brass back, sawnuts, and handle template from Blackburn Tools. Isaac makes some great stuff. I highly recommend it. http://www.blackburntools.com
It has an 8" .015 plate. 1-3/8" under spine. Filed 16 ppi rip. The logo could've been lasered a little hotter but beggars can be choosers.
Handle shaped with rasps. Scraped and then sanded with abranet up to 600. I used a drum sander to take the templates off and a large mill file to smooth the faces. Finished with renaissance wax and buffed.
Thanks for looking.
