Nordic themed buck saw. finished.

[fishfish]

My Nordic themed buck saw is finally finished,mind you at one point it looked unlikely as i mangled 3 fingers of my left hand in a circular saw! lots of swearing and blood,90mg of codeine later i am back at the project and completed it one handed which was a challenge!

heres some pics of the finished buck saw,made from local oak :

A good few years ago now I ran a "build a bucksaw" competition on here. I'm pretty sure that would have won!

I feel your pain with the circular saw. Never mangled mine, but seen it done, not a nice injury. Hope you mend well.

Now, as for the saw.... That's museum quality my friend, but to complete it after an injury like yours, using only one hand.... Well that's just showing off! Seriously though, it shows your skill and grit. Huge respect.

Beautiful work, loving the tongues on the dragons. Hope your your hands heal quickly and relatively scar free. Speedy recovery mate, I feel your pain and inconvenience

 

[Biker]

That is incredible!!! Amazing work Fish, very jealous too. As Marmite said love those tongues, nice touch that.

Shocked to read about your hand, I hope it's not too damaged. Heal well, and soon.
