The hunt is over...

Finally. We have been looking and looking for a band saw and, at long last, found one yesterday. I dread using the jigsaw to cut out the boards so hopefully this bandsaw will do the trick. With a bit of practice, I'm also hoping to use it to rough cut out the spoons. Up until now I have been using a scroll saw which doesn't work all that well on the hardwoods. This saw is a tank...old and solid!
