It's just a flesh wound.I see a little blood and a small cut or am I missing something? (a little blood goes a long way to making a cut look bad). That would make me be more careful but wouldn't result in a for sale tag on my saw.
yup. I hit my middle finger a few years ago. Got lucky both times. No bone damage; just gruesome wounds.Did you hit your thumb?
It will take a few months. It's deep (to the bone) and saws rip instead of slice so there's a lot of stuff that has to regrow. I went through this same injury with a finger. It's no fun.Ouch. Hope the recovery is quick.
