DC:
Is there a trick to getting the teeth so evenly spaced? Or is it just talent?

looks like a short kasan with very little reflex
Good luck

No special tricks , only Good file and gentle moves... I use ski files...
I find nice saw blade with 10 teeth per 2cm ... I filed only one side of the teeth - and counted file moves - 3 moves of the file and the side of the tooth gone from 90 degree to 45 degree angle...only some correction were needed - pretty quick job - maybe half an hour

Before sinewing  - kasan length was 17cm
After sinewing  - around 20cm

I didnt bend the sal core before gluing wooden parts - so all reflex of the core is from sinew process - bending

thanks!
