I have made many Krenov style wooden handplanes over the years and I have several good resources as well. (David Finck’s book among them) I am about to tackle a round bottom plane and a spoon bottom plane for some upcoming projects. I have looked for quite some time and cannot find any good resources on making such planes. I just would like to know from you all what I need to consider in making these. Namely the radius of the blade in relation to the radius of the sole and also any cautions when opening the mouth of the planes. I assume it’s curved to match the blade? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

If you post this question over in the Tools section, under hand tools, you might get some excellent help. There are quite a few guys over there with alot of experience making hand planes.
