When I first started cutting saws in 2017, it set me on a journey that led to me having the name, “The Saw Lady”! Since then, I have cut over 4000 saws and shipped them around the world. But as an artist I was getting a little burned out, and needed to adjust my business plan.
In spring of 2022, I introduced a new lineup called the “Contemporary Series”. This series is made of manufactured blades based on my custom designs. I have them made locally at a small family-run metal shop. I also designed custom wood handles, which are cut at a small wood shop near Chester. I then hand-finish and assemble each piece.
This allows me to have stock on hand, which I can ship the next day. It also frees up my time to create more custom artwork.
TheSawLady.com store now offers two lines of saws:
- Contemporary Series: Handcrafted from manufactured blades and handle.
- Vintage Series: Hand-cut designs made from an old handsaw.
Here are side-by-side photos showing the two lines.
Which Series should you choose?
The Contemporary Series is a great choice if you need it soon. Also, this line is more consistent with a custom hardwood handle and finish. The blade design is unique, and I am able to match a ‘logging’ saw design with a tree saw blade and handle. I can still add a name or logo to these, but have to allow up to 30 days. This is also a great option if you need a quantity for your company or event.
The Vintage series is perfect for anyone who wants a more rustic piece. Some people love the feel of an old saw and feel that it fits their decor better. I have a lot of old saws on hand, and can generally choose a nice-looking saw. These saws can also be customized more easily, and I can do completely new custom designs for you. Due to the design and work involved, these saws can take up to 30 days to produce.
If you have any questions about my work, or would like to discuss a custom order, please send me an email.
