I made this plane from a Hock Tools plan. It is 6” long and has a 1 1/4” Hock blade set. The core is Yellow Poplar, sides are Red Oak, the wedge is Walnut. The cross pin is Cherry drilled through to accept the handle from a discarded foam brush as the tenon. The sole plate is Bois d’ Arc and the front inside of the chip cavity is Padauk. I added the Padauk to tighten up the mouth.

Nice project. I bet you get a sense of satisfaction using a tool you made that can’t be obtained elsewhere. Thanks for sharing Ken.

I like that you made your own. How does it handle?
