Coopers Turning or Bow Saw
Description
A woodworking tool used for straight or curved cuts. A bow saw is a type of frame saw. Its thin toothed blade is held in tension by a frame with two long narrow handles called "cheeks" that are supported and separated by a thin stretcher in the center of the handles, making a wide H shape (the cheeks form the uprights of the H, the stretcher the crossbar of the H). The blade is kept in tension with a turnbuckle that runs parallel to the blade between the two cheeks but on the opposite side of the stretcher.
