An editor and amateur woodworker in the traditional vein. Gaucher! Originally from the Pacific Northwest but now calling Alsace home. Currently fixing up an old house. In the fedi since 2017. This one is for the wood and other handy-crafts. Nature first and low impact. Tooots self-destruct after a spell but the worthy stuff is journaled eventually.

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.
