    As I understand it, rift sawn boards have the vertical end grain orientation. Quarter sawn will yield most of the boards with angled grain.

    I made that same mistake in my post to the OP when I...

    Appreciate your input.

    I did some more looking and can add to my second post. Apparently Disston in the late 1800's introduced the "Keystone Saw Mfg. Co." brand which did not include the Disston...

    When I looked at the page I found three with Philadelphia. But none with "saw works". ​Thanks for the link, I have it saved.

    I posted this on the crosscut sawyer forum a little more than a month ago. Lots of looks, but no replies.

    Anyone have any info, leads, guesses, etc. on this saw plate?


    It's 36 in. long. The...

    Another vote for a drawknife. I got a cheap one a few years ago for the purpose of removing bark. I think it came from Menards (currently $13), but I'm sure most of the big box stores would have...

    You said it was "from a company I won't name". I've never seen a Jemco, but your description sure sounds like what I've read about them. Anyway, you might consider a vintage saw. I wish I could...
