I know that most of the buzz coming from the newest Lee Valley catalog has focused on the new large Veritas shoulder plane. But I couldn’t help notice that our Canadian tool fiends, er, friends are now tempting us with a high angle Asian style smoothing plane. It's the high bedding angle (around 60 degrees) that caught my eye.
Is this plane the same or similar to the Mujingfang rosewood smoother that Lyn Mangimeli raved about in his high angle smoother comparison (http://www.traditionaltools.us/LJM/hiangle.htm).
That plane always struck me as a poor man’s solution for smoothing wild grain and exotic hardwoods.
