Thank you all! It should be with its new owner in a week – I hope he’ll let us know his thoughts :)
Best regards

Great stuff Phil. Nothing much beats an elegant tool like this. Perhaps centuries of being handled with reverence and handed down from generation to generation. Just wonderful.

Phil, have you made any Krenov style planes. (I know you have an origianal) . Are you sticking to the more traditional style?

Thanks Guys!
Wayne, I have made a few Krenov style planes. But I prefer a slightly taller (and yes, more traditional) plane. The more old planes I see the more the styling gets to me :)
Best regards

Phil, an amazing plane. It’s up to the standard that you’ve set for yourself. Nice work!

It looks to be one piece, not with the Tote inlet. Did you carve it to shape from a single block? In any regard this is as Tom said, up to your usual Himalayan heights of workmanship and design. Beautiful.

Many thanks, Gents!
And Douglas, you’re right – one piece. It was more work to do it in one but worth it for the flowing grain pattern.
Best regards

Phil,
Hello everyone! I am the lucky person who has the beautiful toted smoother in question and all comments are true and then some. I have been giving it a good workout on a mahogony blanket chest that I recently built and it is out performing a couple of rather noteworthy other smoothers that i have used up until this plane came into my hands. I will post pictures (as soon as I can figure out how to do so) to show its handiwork and also to show my chest.
I believe that Phil Edwards will be a name that will be associated with fine hand planes very, very soon, like right now so if you are thinking of trying one out I’d put my order in fast. I ordered a couple of more planes and the waiting time has begun, so act fast.
All the best,
Michael

I have one of Phil’s miter planes and second the endorsement of his workmanship.

Nice execution, great design, I bet it looks great from all angles. Lovely piece of wood. Did you use anything to strengthen or bolster the mouth? Or will the wood itself hold up okay?
Again, nice work, bro.
always,
J.C.
