Ripping neck blanks

I must have mentioned my Pax rip saw before. Today I used it to roughly shape the neck blanks for the resos.

In the first pic you can see the small cuts I make with a chisel to start the saw cut. The rip saw has very large teeth and can jump around a bit without these incisions.

The second pic shows the saw halfway through the second cut.

Some tools do the job so fast I wish I had more to use them for, and this is definitely the case with this rip saw - 3 or 4 minutes of sawing just isn't enough!
