Laminated planes and solid body planes work equally as well; it's just a matter of which style you prefer. <br /><br />David Finck's book on making the Krenov planes is excellent. I learned to make them in a class that he taught and he is an outstanding instructor. <br /><br />I'm currently blogging about making a solid body smoother if you&#Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-10132469491320563932013-01-23T11:35:33.784-05:002013-01-23T11:35:33.784-05:00Hi, this is a beautiful piece of work.

Do you think this is a better approach to making planes compared to laminating if you're limited to hand tools? I'd like to try it but information on the method seems limited compared to making the Krenov type. <br />ThanksDavid Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12467850339846220286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-9628797517641563442009-10-22T08:08:10.108-04:002009-10-22T08:08:10.108-04:00I make wooden bows (selfbows), mostly of osage, an...I make wooden bows (selfbows), mostly of osage, and your plane peaked my interest. Osage is a great wood; incredibly dense, resistant to rot, and not affected very much by changes on temperature and moisture. I suspect that an osage plane will stay true for a very long time. Great blog, btw.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716425436529396145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-79460446419722874802008-04-12T17:31:00.000-04:002008-04-12T17:31:00.000-04:00Vincent, you will LOVE David Finck's book.

But I've got a small batch of Osage I picked up for turning out in the garage, a grinder, a bunch of old mushroomed plane blades, hoping for a second life... and now, the Finck/Krenov book on order from an old book seller linked to Amazon.

By the way it’s my favorite of all woodworking blogs. I like the variety of subjects and the quality and quantity of images. I’m a visual learner as I think most woodworkers are. Now that I’ve sucked up and admitted I’m your biggest fan please feel free to send me that plane.<BR/Frontier Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943729464934284498noreply@blogger.com
