Whimsical Chamfer Plane
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Michael Flaherty
This whimsical chamfer plane was made for a tool collector’s wife, who’s into sports cars and fine jewelry. So Flaherty incorporated jade (wheel rims), moonstone (headlights and steering wheel center), brass (exhaust pipe), and sterling silver (radio antenna and hood ornament) into the design. The car body is about 8 in. long, is made of cocobolo, and features an ebony steering wheel and tires (there is a spare in the trunk). The driver acts as the plane’s wedge and is carved from applewood.
