 Hand Planes #1: Big beast came in the mail today.Well today I received my big plane. It is 26” long by 3” wide. It is HUGE. Stamped New York Tool Co on the plane and the iron is Auburn Tool Co. It has some wear and tear. The handle needs to be replaced, but the bottom is flat and no major cracks. I’m just getting into the wooden hand planes. Could someone tell me type of wood should be used for the handle? Hand Planes #2: NY Tool Co iron clean-upI got the iron cleaned up yesterday. Check out my website for more details. I was pretty impressed with the outcome. I gotta get it sharpened now and start cleaning the plane itself. I removed the handle the other day and cleaned out the mortise for a spot for the new handle. Have some left over mahogany, anyone think that will work? Which way is best for the grain to run, vertical or horizontal?
