I've started a hobby in connection with my love of Swiss Army Knife collecting. It involves making scales (handles) out of hardwoods to replace the plastic ones.
The wood blank that I start with is typically 4mm-5mm thick. I need to cut a 58mm x 15mm or 91mm x 21mm oblong-ish/rectangular shape.
I have some examples here at my blog. Hardwoods that I use range from very hard (Buloke - 5060 lbf) to medium (Oak - 1360 lbf).
I purchased a jewelers saw with different tpi but I purchased it for my metal ones (upto 2.5mm brass).
What's a good saw to use for this application? Is a coping saw enough for this simple profile shape?
here's a photo for those who doesn't want to access the blog. What I use now is a dremel with sander drum and also the circular saw attachment which is not actually not much effective (stuck-up and heats the dremel quickly).
