| Here we have another Scottish gunmetal smoothing plane but this time much, much earlier and smaller being only 7" long. It is more the traditional Scottish pattern with the curved moulded cove front and curved rear. This one has a typical Scottish shaped lever cap with a lovely knurled tightening screw. The infill on this plane is superb, it is a lovely almost burr walnut, the shaping to the rear handle is perfection itself. The rear infill is also decorated with scratch carving which includes a fish on both sides of the handle. The time that must have been spent on making the infill for this plane almost defies belief in today's times. Probably my favourite Scottish plane. |
