Here are the parts it is built from

Took a few minutes to build, and in the end it is very stiff, light and long!

    Nice one. I like to call them ‘framed’ (or mounted) saws in general to distinguish them from actual frame saws in English (aka pit saws, long saws…). Older than the Romans, changing only subtly. There are different types, of course, largely distinguished by size of frame, blade width, and filing. Crosscut and ripcut saws were on the bigger side, in France anyway. The blades turned so you could cut alongside the bench as you go deeper into the wood. This looks like crosscut teeth.
