<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 426969, member: 5066"]I'd guess the dealer is correct, early 20th century. Many confuse band saw tool marks as earlier saw marks because they are straight and make marks similar to 17th century water powered sash saws. The bowtie joints on door panel are a common method to repair cracks/splits in wood and the door panel itself looks machine planed to me although edges were hand planed, probably when panel was being repaired with those bowties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
