Turning Saw

Hand made Turning saw based on the Gramercy tools kit which I've had for absolutely ages and finally decided to make. The kit I bought comprised of the handles, pins and three blades. The wood used is quarter-sawn European beech. I believe Gramercy make the handles from American hickory. Excluding the saws, here are the tools I used to make it. The finish is one coat of Liberon Finishing Oil and one coat of Briwax Clear Wax.

It was a really enjoyable build and a great exercise in shaping with rasps, files and spokeshaves. Highly recommended weekend project.


Thanks for looking!

Great looking saw! I built that same kit. Makes a great saw! Well done…

A beautiful saw, and they work like a champ. Received one from a tool swap a while back.

Great build. I saw experts on YouTube making dovetails with that type of saw. 

I like how you camouflaged it in your photos.
