Spring Green Saws

Some of the nicest saws around are coming out of Warwick, RI, at the hands of Charlie Earnest.

Spring Green Saws

The story behind Spring Green Saws is one that I've followed for years. I became aware of Charlie Earnest and his saws as I watched his saw building journey over the last several years (via social media). I actually approached Charlie several years back, asking to do this very spotlight on him and his saws. However, being the humble guy that he is, he declined, and it took me meeting him in person (at Handworks, in the Amana Colonies) to finally convince him to let me share his story.

Spring Green Saws

Spring Green Saws got its start in 2020, and shipped its first commission saw in 2021. Charlie, having spent time in the HVAC field, transitioned to a stay-at-home dad, and became fascinated with vintage handsaws (stemming from his love of handtools). Charlie claims himself as a-claimed mediocre woodworker. (Side noteowning one of his saws, I call bull on nobody can make this nice of saw and be a mediocre woodworker). Since that time, Charlie's inching closer to his 300th saw, mixing his own style with saws based on historic examples.

Why is it saws? What about them fascinates you?

Part of what I love about saws is the history involved in different saw makers, methods, and how the saws were used. Although so much information has been uncovered in the last 30 years relating to saw making in the US and abroad, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of information that can be found about other hand tools.
