here are some wooden planes iv'e made -
the four rosewood ones on the end of the bench are made from one hunk of rosewood-the biggest one is 24" and takes a 2" blade-really it's a little too big-
the second one is 20" but i'll skip that one ( it's never worked right)
this one is 18"with a 1 3/4" blade
the short one i really like and not just because it looks like a train engine-it has a 1 1/2" blade-
all four of these planes have goncolo alves bottoms and lignum vite inserts in front of the blade-
both of these planes are made from zebra wood with lignum vitae bottoms and inserts-
this plane and the next iv'e had around for awhile-i made them maybe 20 years ago-both are made from cocobolo
this little smoother and the next are new-made them last year-the one is cocobolo with a goncolo alves bottom , the other is walnut with a lignum vitae bottom both have 1 5/8" blades-
one of the great things about this type of plane is your hands will find different ways and places to take hold -
thanks for looking
