| Here we have a magnificent example of early Scottish plane-making. It is a 13 3/4" long cast panel plane with nice shape gunmetal lever cap with chamfered decoration. The walnut infill is one of the best infills I have ever seen. The shaping is superb and must have taken ages. It has a full length thick parallel iron by Mathieson and is very heavy. A number of other tools dealers don't share my enthusiasm for this plane but you have to be a skilled craftsman to appreciate the work that has gone into shaping the infill of this plane to such a high standard. |
