<p>[QUOTE="marthahill, post: 204460, member: 3797"]Reading from left to right,, looks like a stylized SH !! With way the wood grain is running doing straight lines is easier without all the skips of going cross grain !! Thats the reason it looks like a backwards Z !! My Dad was a builder/carpenter although not of the same era as this plane !! His nickname was Shorty and I have seen a few things of his with an S that looked similar to this one !! Likely just the owners initials as was said above !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
