 Ok, these three are all related to each other.ning-sdc14868-14424-53.jpg?width=750With the one in the middle being the oldest, from WWII era.   The other two are post war.    Gray body is late 50s.   L-R:   M-F #8, type 4...M-F #9, type 3, and a M-F #900 Value line



Used a different #3 sized plane today.   Made back in the 30s, for Hibbards True Value.ning-sdc14872-14424-9.jpg?width=750That piece of QSWO at one point was a RAFTER!   Black marks are from cut nails I had to dig out.   Another look at this old board?ning-sdc14870-14424-54.jpg?width=750Ray flecks and black cracks galore!    One in front caused a lot of the bloody fingers last night.    Might cut it up into smaller hunks, and use it elsewhere.    The ex-rafter will take its place in the Lap Desk Project.     Edge grain was planed using a FrankenBailey#5ning-sdc14873-14424-47.jpg?width=750Shhh!   Don't wake it up, it has had a busy day.

Even found some Black Cherry as a floor joist in that pile.     Along with a nice batch of Sycamore.   All rough sawn, and cut nails galore!   Best part?     FREE!
