>>1429970Thanks.
>How did you make the blades?Stock removal from an old antique crosscut carpenter's saw (pic). I used a Dremel to cut them out, a blowtorch to anneal them, a file to shape/sharpen them, the torch to harden them, and a toaster oven to temper them. They are all push-fitted tangs. See:
>>>/diy/1516520 for more blade making.
>>1429988I have American Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana, aka American hornbeam,) but none is well-seasoned enough to use. Same with Shagbark Hickory which is harder.
