fretsaw
Intricate woodwork blade
A fretsaw is a fine-toothed saw with a thin blade held in a U-shaped frame, used for cutting intricate curves and patterns in thin wood or other materials.
The blade's narrowness allows tight turns that heavier saws cannot manage: She used a fretsaw to cut the decorative scrollwork.
Related to but distinct from a coping saw, which has a coarser blade.
