I found some 80 grit 3M sandpaper at the local Destroy It Yourself shop so I'm switching to that hopefully I'll have this plane finished today. Looks like my 9 1/2 block will need flattening it has a bow in the opposite direction.
 I started wondering if I could actually make a guitar out of the sawmill mahogany and what would it sound like ? I'm going to look through my wood store and see if I've got anything that might work as a fingerboard and bridge. I have some bocote lying around but I'm not sure its wide enough would be striking though !
