Domaine(s)
  • Outillage à main
  • Sciage du bois
CONT

Les scies japonaises traditionnelles sont conçues pour ne couper qu’en tirant. Cette particularité nécessite alors une préparation de l’outil et une façon de travailler différentes. [...] le fait de tirer la scie permet de maintenir sa trajectoire dans le bois sans voir sa lame fléchir, contrairement aux scies occidentales, qui coupent en poussant.
