Today I had to mortise out some hinge openings in some really hard mahogany, and even after sharpening my best wide chisel to absolute perfection, it was a pain and the results aren't as good looking as I'd have preferred. And I
have a bunch more of these things to do. Does anyone have a heavy-duty chisel to recommend? Else I'll probably use a hinge-mortising bit in a router for the rest of 'em, but I'll still have to use a chisel to square off the corners.
