Maple and cherry smoother with brass and walnut plane hammer
This is a maple and cherry, Krenov style smoother with a walnut wedge. 45′ bed angle for a Hock 1 3/4″ iron. Walnut handled adjusting hammer with a brass head and a walnut tip. Cuts like butter.
With much help from David Finck’s Making and Mastering Wood Planes.
For my brother.

Beautiful plane and obviously a very effective one. I, too, have made several planes (none really as handsome as yours). I have five commercial planes (Stanley and one Record) but I will reach for my self-made planes every time. I may have to buy some Hock blades for the commercial just to get them to match my handmade planes. Congratulations on a job well done. I know that your brother will cherish it.
Nothing more beautiful than a well-made, effective tool.
