Tenon (or Back Hand) Saw
Description
A tenon saw is designed specifically for cutting the cheeks and shoulders of a tenon joint. Compared to a dovetail saw, it has a wider, thicker blade with a lower TPI count. Because cutting tenon joints usually involves cutting across the grain of wood, a tenon saw has ‘crosscut’ teeth, which allow it to do this.
This saw has the initials ‘LGP’ on the wooden handle. Stamped on the brass back is ‘WARRANTED CAST STEEL’ plus a bird motif.
