    Huge wooden prop.,,, from Texas

    Okay here is another pic,, i saw the spot that might look like a dowel that has been filled but got my fingernail underneath and it popped off like a spot of sap or glue,,the hub shows to have had some sort of flange or big washer around it or round plate,,

      Hi,

      Perhaps there is something written, using dry point (not sure of the English word: kind of sharp metal stylus). If true, it could be very interesting because it seems written before varnishing (at least the today varnish).
      Please, post a very clear and large close up of this place (and of the shielding showing close up of two or three rivets).

      Could you confirm the central hole is larger on one side? And give the exact size(s) of the hole(s) and of the whole propeller also?

      Regards,
      PM

          Hi Doyle,

          I still think I might be able to see filled bolt holes in a pattern of six, but they may well just be smudges on the wood. See the yellow arrows below. Is anything there in real life?

          With kind regards,

          Bob

            And by the way, your prop was flown quite a lot, as evinced by the ovality in the bolt holes.
