Sweet things to find

While burning up a few boxes of off-cuts last night; I came across some pleasant surprises. A big old wooden mallet, guess I can crack walnuts with that. An E.C. Simmons 'Keen Kutter' tenon saw, an old German made offset flush-cutting saw marked qualitat-silberstahl-guarantie. As a search turned up that is chrome vanadium steel. Also there is what appears to be a dowel turning tool, and a couple of wooden planes (sans blades :( ) Got a few more boxes of off-cuts to burn, hope there are more "buried treasures".

My father use to carve a lot, there were many pieces of butternut, walnut, yellow pine and rosewood. Mostly too small for anything but to carve a bird or mouse. There are a few slabs of nice wood but they are not fire-fodder. There's a big lump of greenheart too; not suitable for carving, it will probably remain as a doorstop for now.
