| Description : | BOW SAW: (Frame saw, swede saw) Made of wood, metal and rope. The frame of the saw consists of two wooden side pieces called cheeks, a rope tensioning cord between the top ends of the cheeks, a wooden bar or stretcher in the middle of the saw between the two cheeks, a wooden toggle stick mounted vertically between the centre of the tensioning cord and the stretcher, a blade called a webb, attached between the lower ends of the cheeks by means of a slotted piece of wood at either end of the blade. The cheeks are a balister shape lengthwise. The ends of both cheeks curve toward the centre of the saw. The top end of the cheeks have an indented ring which allows the tensioning cord to be held in place. The inside edge of each cheek has a rectangular indentation in the centre into which the stretcher bar is inserted. The lower end of each cheek is rounded and has an eye hole through which the wooden blade supports are insertted. The stretcher bar is a rectangular piece of wood with all four corners beveled and a rectangular projection at either end which fit into the indentations in the cheeks. The tensioning cord is made of a piece of rope with four strands. The toggler stick is a piece of wedge shaped wood with an indentation on either side near the top. The tensioning cord sits on these two indentations. The blade has three teeth per inch (5 teeth per 4.0cm) and is 54.0cm long and 1.6cm tall. It is held in place by means of a small nail through the blade and wooden slot at each end. The slotted pieces of wood which hold the blade in place are round where they are inserted through the cheeks, but oval shaped where they extend beyond the holes in the cheeks. The round portions, with the slot are 1.1cm in diameter. The oval pieces are 2.7cm tall. Measurements: 47.5cm x 68.0cm x 2.5cm. |
