re: This is why you take the tension off a bow saw when you’re not using it

Well, the dewpoint outside went from in the 50s to single digits F in a couple weeks. And the ash I used for my bow saws was relatively straight grained, but I’ve found a few cracks over time. These were cheap boards brought from MN. In any case, I think I need to get in the habit of releasing the tension on them before I put them away.
