Folding Bucksaw

[Otis1]

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to make a folding bucksaw for canoe camping. I could bring a regular bow saw, but the exposed blade presents problems with dry bags. I built the first one with some white pine I had laying around, mostly because I was bored and needed a project. Then I decided to make a nice one with some black walnut scraps from my countertop. Blade folds into the handles so it's protected.

I included a couple pictures of the countertop for fun. This was my first time using epoxy and I think it came out pretty good. The countertop was sanded down to about 1500 grit before I finished it. Finish on the walnut saw and countertop is Odie's Oil. First time I used this product, but it has held up well on the countertop for a couple years now.

Nice little saw.....cool counter top to.

I've never came across that type of buck saw. I've always had an iron handle one, it's hanging in the barn.........err someplace. ;D

Very creative, both the saw and counter top!  I'd be proud to use both!
