Thanks Jimi, I did think about Pedder and wondered if it was worth sending them that far as I'm unsure of their quality, of course pics might help with IDing them so will get onto that.
regards chris

Check this picture Chris....

130 year old Robert Sorby brass backed saw!

Worth every penny - trust me on that one!

Hi Chris,

I would try to sharpen her myself first. If you don't succeed there is plenty time to send to a sharpening service.

Sending her 2X cross europe is one of the most expensive options. If I would be you, I would try the cheap local service first.

At least for a rip cut saw.

Cheers
Pedder

Could it say "Burnt Tree Works"? Mick

It undoubtably does Mick, but does that mean it is necessarily a Taylor?

Sorry, I did state the obvious. :lol:

My Taylor saw has Adelaide Works etched on the blade.

Have a look here for the Burnt Tree Works stamp, a bit out of focus but may give you a clue.

hello all, thanks for the replies, Jim, I really wasn't doubting his Pedder-gree {see what I did there? } just my finances.
Mick, I kid myself that i am witty and was making reference to another mis-read stamp , thanks for the link, the font is the same but it, she, doesn't have the 'tooth' emblem. I guess she is a Taylor-ess then. What is the date of yours?

Pedder, thanks for your input too, I will try sharpening myself when I have made some chops.
regards to all participants, chris
