What would this type of wood be worth today?
I have a line on some.
1950s & 1960s mahogany no blemishes - 5/4x14x49 and narrower.
Thanks.
Thanks for all the resources. It’s from 1917-1942. Once I cleaned it a little more, the iPhone camera caught details my eyes were missing.

That looks brutal.
Kind of looks like 1850-1880 vintage. It looks like filed to rip but I’ll need to clean it up a bit to really see. The set is great on it.
What should I NOT do to it?
I bought a Disston saw today for $2. Its button only says Disston Phila. This thing has a lot of miles on the handle. Many miles. No other markings that I noticed, although as I work through some...

I hope it’s easy enough to repair.
Interesting solution, for sure. I’ll keep this in mind. Thx.
Tough crowd.
This is a riff on a much-discussed topic.
I bought one of those gizmos to see how far off my blade is. (A lot) Then I looked in my Jet owner manual for how to adjust the table (miter slot)....

I did contact the buyer, expressed my disappointment, shared a couple of photos. We talked about it a bit, and he was heading to a...
How fantastic for you!
It brings mixed emotions… my family was not so thoughtful.
I am truly happy for you.
This is a fascinating read. I hope you post a followup.
It looks like you are doing that next to your bed. I had a sheet of plastic that draped my bed, with holes punched for the bedposts. I would roll it up, strip sash, roll it down to sleep. Roll it up...
This was a long and good post, thank you. I’m not experienced enough to say it WILL be a good scrub. I think it will, and as a person who salvages old wood, I’d rather bang up a #4 blade than a 16”...
A heartwarming story!
These are good responses, and these last 2 help with perspective. Thank you all. This is one supportive community!
And I gotta shout out to the tech support… these folks blew all the doors off if...
Geez I love reading these posts. SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE!
Lee, you are welcome.
You are also 100% accurate in your diagnosis and cure.
A little inconvenient because it’s a few steps away and a lot of scrolling. But those are some PRETTY saws I...
These kinds of posts are encouraging to me.
That’s funny. Now I have to try that. Especially after a sharpening session.
