…at its best. A while back, Mike Allen asked about some apple wood to use in mending saw handles:

I happened to have some old growth Pennsylvania apple, from the days when the big trees got pushed down and replaced with more manageable, smaller trees, taking up room in my shop so I sent him a flat rate box full ….just to make myself feel good and free up some space.

Mike was very appreciative and wanted to at least pay postage, but I declined. After all, how can you be a good samaritan if you expect payment for a kindness. Yesterday Brown showed up at the door with a package from Mike. I was blown away by this 8ppi x-cut Keen Kutter#88 that Mike had rehabbed into a lean mean sawing machine with 12 degree rake, 20 degree fleam and a 20% set….it cuts like a dream. Thanks so much Mike. This saw will occupy a special place in my shop.
