sargent 714 plane tote repair ? - toolmiser - 05-31-2021
I recently posted a couple planes that I had gotten at a garage sale. The 714 Sargent has a damaged tote. I was going to glue on a piece of wood and make it look better and more useable. I planed to top of the tote, see picture, but it looks a lot more reddish than the air dried walnut also in the picture. I thought it was walnut, but the color doesn't look like it. Anyone know what kind of wood they used? Sorry about the small sample size.
Also does anyone have a lead on a replacement blade? This one is a couple sharpening away from being totally used up.

Thanks for all the info.

They used mahogany up through 1947.
