Gotta watcha out for kickback Matt, Ive seen some bow saws trying to eat people.

Mostly operator error though.

Cliff, you have the most amazing collection of neat saws, how many acres does it take to store and display all of those beauties?

+10 ! One of the best collections around for sure...It just hurts to see all the nice bow saws landing at the same spot...:msp_thumbup:

Anybody see the guy on ebay lateley that made those new bow bars? I have been looking to put one on my 044 or 361 stihl. Seems to me it would work well on a lot of these elm trees I get to cut that are 4" to 12" dia.

I have not added any new ones in a while. Here is a Poulan 8500 I picked up today.

A Homelite (C-7 variant?) that I got last month.

May try to get all of them together for a picture this weekend.

Great knowledge thread!

I'd posed a question in a thread of mine about bow saws and 'Warped5' pointed me to this thread. WOW............those are cool and thanks for posting up this great informative thread!!

Some day maybe I'll stumble across one.........of course living in the Phoenix area(desert) bow saws aren't quite as popular/available vs. living where there are a lot of trees and logging going on!!

As soon as I figure it out I plan to bring almost all the old stickies back. This sub forum in the saw forum allows us to put lot of stickies up and not take room from the saw forum.
I really hope this cleans up the sticky mess and works for all. Dave
