   Hi Derek,

   I love wooden planes and yours is a beauty. The important question is though, how are the shavings?

   Be safe,
   Ken

   it doesn't cut the greatest yet.  I need to get my water stones on the job and hone the iron.  BUt Aside from being half assed sharp it cut ok.  I realized after I had started to form to sole that I should have put a spring angle on it.  It makes it a little tougher to push the way that I have built it, but for the first try I won't get to picky.  It is built from true mahogany, with an ash wedge and tote.  I still have another good sized chunk left so I think I may give it another go.  This time maybe a cove and roundover set.  Who knows...  I do know that sweeping up shavings of the floor is 100x better than cleaning up any mess made by a router.  IF you can afford the time to do it by hand it is well worth.  That and your haering won't go.

   Hasta Leuego
