270374 dks <dks@t...> 2020‑04‑04 boxing of planes
Looking through my woodies, I came across a nice pair of snipe bills stamped J.
Miller 58 Grainger St. I was surprised to see the boxing is at right angles to
the length of the plane. As might be expected, the boxing has shrunk a little,
but there is otherwise no damage. I am wondering how unusual this is, as I don't
recall seeing planes with cross-grain orientation of the boxing.
