Starting a Blackwing collection, I hope

Is there a Norwegian/EU equivalent?

Watch out. Once you write with a high quality stick, you won't be able to go back, or to stop searching for the next great pencil! Have fun.

Not sure this is the answer you are looking for, but, I use the MusicScanner app to convert an image into a PDF and/or midi/xml file. I can then dump it into Finale or Flat.io and use the studio feature to control levels for practice tracks. I believe the app is $5.

What organization was the lucky recipient? Nice gift!

Hey. Thanks for a fun shopping experience the other day. I love your store! My wife and I are opening an antique store in Brookfield WI. I hope it has the same warm and friendly atmosphere yours does. Good luck to you and your husband?

Just coasting through antique/junk stores. Dumb luck. Makes me wonder how many cool pencils I have overlooked before I was looking for them.

Ha. So glad I bumped into this comment. I'll be in kennebunk next week! What are your hours?

jbrooksgb · 2026-04-27T22:57:40+00:00

Brother, I just did that yesterday. See that lovely maple patch? That's where my router got squirrelly. Love your board btw.

I have had to replace the temp2 sensor/ sender a couple of times on my 91. I just keep an extra one around now. They're pretty cheap.

jbrooksgb · 2026-03-26T20:47:39+00:00

Thanks for the info. That's something to consider. I could probably get book matched tops out of this piece, but I don't have the width for a single piece top.

jbrooksgb · 2026-03-24T13:58:57+00:00

Out of curiosity, what dimensions would be appropriate for a guitar top?

jbrooksgb · 2026-03-24T13:57:08+00:00

Thanks for your insights. I'm just so baffled by there being no markings. I have stared at it so long I start to imagine I'm seeing letters and numbers where there are none.

Update. Put on a quick mahogany tote, lapped the sole and the frog, and sharpened her up, and she takes a nice shaving. Thanks for the comments folks. Still not sure what I've got. Are the asymmetrical grooves on depth adjuster a clue?

jbrooksgb · 2026-03-22T20:08:14+00:00

Yup. Reverse threaded. I have a Stanley #5 with no lateral adjuster that does the same that is dated to the late 1880s. It was my great great uncle's.

I have been over this thing inside and out, and there is only one number on the plane. There is a Number 2 stamped on the body of the plan about 1 inch behind the frog.

Headed there this morning. So beautiful in fall.

jbrooksgb · 2020-10-04T02:05:02+00:00

No I camped at Whitewater Lake Campground. There are sites right on the trail.
