Handwork in Wood

CHAPTER IV
40/111

95, is a narrow saw, set in a frame, which stretches the saw tight, so that it works as a tension saw (cf.p.

62).
The best frames are made so that the handles which hold the blade can revolve in the frame.

The turning-saw is used chiefly for cutting curves.

A 14 inch blade, 3/16 of an inch wide is a good size for ordinary use.

The teeth are like those of a rip-saw, so that they are quite likely to tear the wood in cutting across the grain.
