Rehandling a Saw

Sometime ago, I found a saw without a handle. I've never gotten time to put a handle on it. But since I've been woodcarving lately, I thought it would be a nice tool for cutting small branches, like when I'm making spikketrollets. I decided to give it a new handle so that it would be convenient to use.




I split the wood with my knife.




I traced the part of the saw that would go into the handle with a knife. I then carved the wood so that when the saw is inserted and the two blocks of wood are joined together, the saw would fit in snuggly.




Then I removed the bark from the handles.


And applied wood glue generously.


I put them all together. I don't have clamps so I just tied the handles with a rubber band.


After letting the glue cure for 24 hours, I removed the rubber band, whittled the handle to my desired shape and sanded it to remove rough edges. This is the final result.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
