For You Lot Snakewood Mark Knives

I've had a flake of a run on my snakewood marker knives together with so it's fourth dimension to restock. Here is a modest log costing £100 cutting into two.

Here is the within which shows how wasteful this fine forest tin strength out be, the serpent blueprint solely goes virtually one-half means inwards together with the centre has decayed.

Here are 26 usable blanks which makes them virtually £4 each. Wood doesn't come upwards much rarer or expensive than this! These blanks volition locomote taken to Jim my turner friend, he is every bit good fast together with every bit good proficient for me to recollect virtually turning these myself.

This is the final of the stock turned virtually vi months ago. The ferules are exactly brass metro cutting on my modest ring saw together with the blades are heavy duty Swann Morton which I stimulate got shortened.

The blade slot is cutting carefully yesteryear manus using together with quondam dovetail saw which I sharpened. It has a kerf of .6mm which matches the blade width nicely.
Notice the means my index finger is curled into a notch on the grip rather than pointing downwardly the blade. I notice this easier to command the saw together with it prevents you lot from applying every bit good much pressure level which tin strength out campaign the describe to wander. I stimulate got noticed on approximately of the high terminate electrical flow 24-hour interval saws that the makers stimulate got cutting this notch but left it far every bit good modest to genuinely locomote used every bit it was intended, which is a shame.

The maker is stamped Hill belatedly Howell on the steel back. Two names were oftentimes used for a menses afterwards a maker took over anothers business, unremarkably afterwards he had died, thence the piece of job of the discussion 'late'. From memeory this dates this saw to the 1850's, I similar quondam tools together with it's overnice to pose them dorsum inwards service.
