bowsaws
Frame-held blade tools
Bowsaws is the plural of bowsaw, a type of hand saw with a narrow blade held taut by a curved or rectangular frame that resembles a bow.
The frame keeps tension on the thin blade, allowing it to cut curves and intricate shapes in wood: The carpenter reached for one of his bowsaws to cut the decorative scrollwork.
Also spelled bow saws.
