Another fun one today!

I'm not sure what an "saw" is in this context, though.

I had to look up saw myself, best definition that fit the theme was as follows:

A proverb or maxim, as in Mom's always repeating the old saw, "Haste makes waste." This term uses saw in the sense of "saying," and old in the sense of "wise" rather than old-fashioned. [Second half of 1400s]

Oh neat, thanks. I wonder when that use fell out of favour.

I was way too excited at recognizing tree species. I’d honestly never heard of an ebony tree before, as we don’t use its wood in my area.

spoiler

It's become very expensive due to becoming a threatened species, but ebony used to be one of the most popular woods to make musical instruments out of, including clarinets, black piano keys (ivory was used for white keys), and strong instrument fingerboards.

Ebony and ivory used to also pair up in making black and white chess pieces.

These days it's not illegal to use per se, but a lot of its harvesting is done illegally. You won't find a lot of new ebony.
