As you can imagine, carving a nearly 9 foot propeller is quite an undertaking, a 5 month process so far. It was a similar Sensenich wooden prop on 975M when Bill Harmon crash landed her in the field. That 8+ footer is now a splintered 3 foot wall hanger in my shop. The one I used for my early test flights suffered damage by a rock or two which rendered it unusable. Still, we're moving forward toward a lot of flying this coming Spring and Summer.
I stumbled on a business card with my Dad's handwriting on the back. This airport is where a WWII-vintage PBY is being restored.

The handwritten referral there (with a phone number) was to a Richard Harmon. Any connection?

The business card shows a very large engine (for a biplane). No idea what it is:
