FS and just to show off 9got to ahve a gloat once in ahile 1st of the new year planes

Well I finally got pics of the first of the New Year planes. I enjoy making these for some reason. They have all been sanded to a polish and have 4 coats of my special oil/wax finish that's really hard and nice. They are all stamped with 1st of the New Year and they are dated signed and numbered. Here is the ebony pocket plane (about 5" long 2.5" wide and 2" high with a 1.5" blade)

is a pic of a couple of ebony ones that still need 3 coats of finish and a really nice wood I can't think of the name of. The ebony planes are finish planes and the other one is a 60 degree plane with added weight.

will also have a 32" purpleheart jointer with a 2.5" wide iron and a few other planes a coffin in wenge (the first plane I made out of that wood) These planes are regular price plus the extra wood cost.
