Score at the Seattle Luthiers Group

Wow - congrats! Very nice wood, and the planes look great too. I think that's a No. 8 jointer on the right? I love using wooden planes too, after tuning up the iron. Even if you don't use it, they look great on a shelf as a tribute to craftsmen from yesteryear.

That is a No. 8 jointer, an old one but nicely tuned from a current luthier that swapped it out for one on the new veritas shooting board planes. The wood plane has never (until today) been used.

John, is that a homemade wooden plane, or from a factory?
