I've made a few of these. It folds up on itself, taking very little space.

Looks good. What wood do you use? How much does it weigh?

I made three buck saws myself, that I used early on for portage clearing. For that type of work, it just wasn't a handy option, having to take them down after every portage. Now they set on the shelf. I'll give them to the grand kids some day.

quote OBX2Kayak: "Looks good. What wood do you use? How much does it weigh?"

I used ash. Couldn't say on the weight. It wasn't too bad, but it couldn't compare with some of the aluminum framed saws on the market as far as weight.

Great job to both of you on the saws.
