This was a blade of a little keyhole saw that was rolling around my workshop for a while now.
It has some story:
It was part of a backsaw that I bought on a flee market. Not a good one, it was damaged or something. I cutted it to make some card scrapers. Some parts of the teeth rolled here and there in the workshop and one day, I decided to make a little keyhole saw to gift to my father for father's day. It was part of a little box I prepared with a set of tiny esential carving tools. The keyhole saw, some tiny gouges, tiny chisel, whittling knife and so on.
He used that little box and added his own tools too.
When he died I took the box and made it mine. And misusing the keyhole saw I broke the blade again.
So again it went rolling and stumbling around the many movings and transformations of my own workshop.
But magically never lost, always at hand.
So today I thought it would be nice to give it a new life by making it a new handle so I can use it properly to cut through the mouth of the guitar and the reinforcement I'm doing to the soundhole.
Si here it is, I couldn't help to give it a little bit of zoomorphic character and add a bit of ornament on my own limitations.
I always think, when doing handles and things interactive with hands:
"Do it in a way it can be entangled with your skin, bones, muscle and tendons of your hands through eternity"
Yes, I am a bit of a lunatic
