Reclaiming a Solid Wood Countertop, circa 1938
What a find! I remodeled a kitchen in the Wedgwood area of Seattle, and when I started taking the old cabinets apart the first piece split from one end to the other, and I knew it wasn't plywood. They were solid fir boards, up to 21" wide. Destined to become a nice art box. I'm still getting up the nerve to go at the dovetails.

A close shave.
Gasp! A Stanley #60 block plane (English). With a Hock blade in it. I am eye-balling a Veritas Smoothing Plane. . .
