Finally getting rid of the offending tear out - And making full width shavings while traversing a particularly figured piece of BLM ---- --- and getting down to just real shallow toothing plane tracks left. The good old Type 11 Stanley and LV blade / CB combo is treating me well today. More to follow. A live edge coffee table in the works----- with a couple of twists.

Great work. If you don't mind answering... what is your sharpening technique, how close is the chipbreaker, and how tight is the mouth?

Thanks - hollow grind on a hand crank grinder, Shapton Glass stones, 1000 FB 8000 and the CB is a gnat's eyelash from the leading edge of the blade.
Just taking a breather. Got rid of the toothing plane tracks; on to my Krenov style jointer to finish up.

This is the final shavings I am looking for. Trying to get to finishing without sanding- may resort to a little scraping -

Congrats. I am on the same quest. Nice to hear you did it with a few workhorse tools too. Goes to show its the musician as much as the instrument.

Thanks Phil.
I will likely send a WIP in Projects - it is nearly done- just fitting the drawer with ' let go '.
It is for a juried Art Show in a couple weeks.
Need to send in the final submittal photos - back to the Shop.

Thomas -
Thanks for the kind words - the plane is a LN 102 in White Bronze - engraved by Layne Zeulke from Baton Rouge - it is so sweet that it photobombs the odd time - it is a daily user when I am woodworking - a real gem.
More to follow - -
