New! Tapered Back Saws

We've redesigned our three most popular back saws to feature a slight taper from toe to heel. This taper gives you better control over precise cuts. When you reach the gauge line on the front of your stock the blade is slightly above the line on the back side, which reduces the risk of sawing past your line. In addition, the taper introduces an angled approach to your stock when holding the saw back parallel to the bench, enabling faster cuts with less effort.

You will learn how to dimension stock, taper legs, cut mortises and tenons, make and fit the dovetailed drawer, bevel the top, and finish the surfaces.
