fret saw
Intricate woodwork blade
A fret saw is a hand tool with a thin, fine-toothed blade stretched in a deep U-shaped frame, used for cutting intricate curves and patterns in thin wood or other materials.
The deep frame allows the blade to reach well into the workpiece, making it ideal for detailed scrollwork and decorative cutouts: She used a fret saw to cut the delicate filigree design.
