Product Description

The Two Cherries™ German veneer saws have the the "ramp" tooth grind that cuts on the pull stroke.

With 18 fine, unset teeth per inch, this saw cuts with precision accuracy. Though I am a "lefty" and these saws are designed for right handed people, I've had no trouble using the saw with my right hand. I use my left hand to hold the straightedge down and my right hand to saw. As long as the saw is sharp, you won't need to apply much pressure to cut the veneers cleanly.

Sharpening Option
If you select this option, I will hand-sharpen both sides of the blade for a thin, true and laser-like cut. I absolutely guarantee that you will cut exceptional seams with this saw using the right technique. You can find more information regarding the sharpening technique by clicking here.

Bonus
Veneer saws purchased with "pre-sharpened" option will also receive a free cotton drawstring storage bag.

Wow - Precision Cut From A Simple Hand Tool

Review by Rod Roland
Rating:

The Two Cherries veneer saw beats any other low-tech method for getting tight seams. I've never been more satisfied with a hand tool than I am with this saw. I ordered mine with the pre-sharpening option and right out of the bag, I could see that this was a tool worth that is worth the cost. I even bought another saw to give to a friend of mine who just got into veneering. He too was amazed.
The Best Veneering Tool

Review by Mike Doughty
Rating:

This is the best veneering tool a person can use and do agree to get it sharpened. I make custom game boards and particularly chess boards and tight invisible seams are a must and this tool does deliver. I'm left handed and with a simple clamping jig to establish the strips in equal widths it's now possible to put the router away and work in a quieter and much cleaner environment. Thank you for a great tool and the service was unbelievable. Thanks again and I'll definitely be back for more saw blades.
An Amazing Tool

Review by Jack Gifford

I have been veneering speaker cabinets for years, and have always used a router to trim off the excess from a finished panel. Finally I bought a Two Cherries Veneer saw so that I could try splicing two pieces of veneer together. The saw works exactly as described, and is extremely useful for that purpose, but it is the best trimmer I have used for removing the excess overlap from the edge of a veneered panel. Simply back the veneer with a block of wood, and cut away. Beats a router every time.

This saw should be in every woodworkers tool kit. Used properly, it is an amazing tool.

Get it pre-sharpened and you'll be doing perfect veneer seams instantly. The handy dandy pouch that it comes with is a great accessory.
The Real Deal

Review by Tim Rumbinas
Rating:

For those that prefer a European style saw (as I do) this is the real deal. The correct tooth pattern makes a huge difference in the cut.

Joe provides a good overview of sharpening here, but I've been following the advice given in the late Tage Frid's "Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking." Basically, file it like a saw -- sharpen it like a knife.

The finest Nicholson saw file does a great job filing -- three or four strokes on each tooth (one can do this by eye), then hone the bevel edge like a knife. I use 1000, 4000, and 8000 grit water stones.

Then -- and here's the big dividend -- polish the BACK of the blade on your finest stone. I use the 8000 grit waterstone, and apply pressure with a jointed block of scrap wood to keep the blade flat against the stone.

The first time you flatten the back, you may need to go through a range of grits, but afterwards, the it should only need a few seconds on the fine stone.

When you get this right, you're cuttin' pretty.

(Comment by Joe: The pre-sharpened saws offered on the website are completed with a 4000 grit waterstone on the front and back.)
Don't Forget Veneer Tape

Review by Joann Trumel

Worth every penny! Combine this saw with some veneer tape and you'll be making sunbursts and quadmatches on any project you can think of. We got our order only a day after the order was placed and it was packed very well. We are truly satisfied and will be shopping here very often.
This Saw Is Absolutely Incredible

Review by Thom Garriths
Rating:

I just wanted to post that this saw is absolutely incredible. I got the pre-sharpened version and I'm amazed by how sharp it is. Joe has one helluva good tool here and the price is outstanding. This same saw sells for $18 at most places ... and thats unsharpened.

Great tool!!!!

Laser Like Cut

Review by Jason Andreasen
Rating:

Just got my saw yesterday, but already have used it quite a bit to joint several sheets and rough trim veneer from the panels. I opted to order the saw pre-sharpened. I have no idea how it performs "un-sharpened", but when sharpened it truely does live up to the claim of "laser like cut". With a good straightedge and the aid of some veneer tape, for the first time I've achieved really great (dare I say "invisible") joints.
