This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in round wood woodworking.

This BB is for crafting an light and excellent bowsaw frame. A more advanced version of the bowsaw from the Straw level.





A video for the exceptional bow saw shown above. PBS, so no way to embed it.

To get certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:

- Your chunks of wood that you are starting with
- Progress about halfway through, with the hand tools you have decided to use for this
- List any power tools you used (Otis would love it if you only used hand tools)
- The final product
- The saw cutting through a piece of wood
- Description of the woods used and why you chose them
- An explanation of why you consider it "excellent"
F is for finger. Can you stick your finger in your nose? Doesn't that feel nice? Now try this tiny ad:
