Roy did that on the saw they were recreating so that, as the holes that the handle pins go in enlarge over time, it wouldn’t put strain on the mortise and tenon. I would think it would also help when adjusting blade tension. Also, Gramercy Tools (“Tools for Working Wood”) sells bow saw blades, handle pins and complete handles for those like me that don’t have a lathe. I’ve also seen free templates on-line for the entire saw. When I remember where I saw it, I’ll post again.
