   I read through the Fine Woodworking article on building a bowsaw and it offered some basic suggestions for blades.

   Garrett Wade sells replacement blades in three sizes: 8 tpi, 12 tpi, and 16 tpi. Generally speaking, the higher the tpi, the smoother the cut.

   If given the option between a blade for ripping or crosscutting, choose the rip blade as it will give you a thinner kerf.

   Hope that helps,
