Cocobolo Coffin Smoother
Woodworker: Dan Barrett
Barrett made this cocobolo coffin smoother to be awarded as first prize in the Ontario Provincial Carpentry Apprenticeship Contest, which recognizes the top carpenter’s apprentice in the province. The 1-1/8-in.-thick handle—modeled after the handle on his great-grandfather’s Mathieson jack plane—is mortised into the body. The finish is boiled linseed oil and wax.
