Classic Smoothing Plane

i do!

-- jk

I’d have to feel it on a fine piece of burl to see if I like it or not… Just mail it to me and in a couple of months I’ll let you know how much I like it. (big evil grin!) I spent Saturday finishing a cherry slab bench made from a crotch slab. I didn’t have any tung oil, so it will be later today before I have photos.

Phil: What a swet looking plane. It sure looks good sitting on the table. I too would be willing to give it a few trial runs.

Phil, I looked at your projects and you have lots and lots of planes. I don’t have a smoothing plane and I sure I can’t make one as nice as yours. SO ooooooooo send me the damn plane !! I pay the postage See that was easy and all is well in the world.

I have never really like wooden planes, that is until now…Magnificent is the first word that comes to mind. I think I am beginning to acquire a little “Tool Envy” from your post..Simply beautiful.

Cool looking plane. Love the wood.

Phil, you may certainly add my number to the rank of those whose full approval of your beautiful plane is contingent on a rigorous personal testing. A tool one will be reaching for day-in, day-out should be a thing of beauty and not just utility – and this certainly is.
