Here is the last of the batch in Indian Rosewood, this one has lovely lighter streaks reminiscent of Brazilian Rosewood.
A pretty backside!

This plane was saved to last as the mouth turned out a touch too wide to sell. Adding a dovetailed brass insert sorted it out. The mouth is now extremely narrow and suitable for the finest work on the most figured woods. |
Here is one of the batch of Rose Bubinga planes just completed, they all have Rosewood cross pins and brown oak wedges just to add a touch of contrast. They turned out very nicely.
How is the brass insert attached? Is it friction fit?
ReplyDeleteHi, it's certainly a tight fit and the dovetail shape works to resist the direction of planing, although I have used a little epoxy resin to make sure it stays put. All the best, David.
