Sometimes it just takes too long for me to complete a good idea.
I made a bread saw prototype in 2016, and promptly sold it as part of a wedding gift. You would think I would use that success and motivate myself to make more … but no.
I did buy the necessary hardware, which has sat in my cabinet for more than a year. You would think that would motivate … but no.
But, when a Lady walked into the booth last month and asked me to make her not one, but two Bread Saws, I couldn’t say no. She told me she had been searching for them for years.
Just like me & my motivation.
These Bread Saws are made from various hardwoods. The handle helps you cut each slice to the same thickness. Each handle is cut from a single piece of wood with an ergonomic shape that feels very good in your hand. The saw blades are stainless steel, and are so sharp that each saw comes with a protective shield.
Each piece is about 16″ x 2″. The saw blade is 8″ long.

I took all of the Bread Saws with me to my weekend event, Jackalope Summer Nights in Pasadena. Sold one almost immediately. The buyer had also “been looking for one for years.”
And then she found me. That’s good, right?
Oh yeah – gotta have one!!
There’s a guy who has been selling these for years at Summerfair in Cincinnati. He always has people buying from his booth. And that’s all he sells.
I know a woodworker (who just retired) that only sold band saw spoons, spatulas and salad forks. He had a great thing going.
