Needed to smooth out a short piece of Apple for a project I am working on and thought it was a good opportunity to try out my new hand plane I made a few weeks back. This is a
Krenov-inspired small smoother made from cocobolo, with a
Ron Hock blade and chipbreaker I bought from
Lee Valley.
After a quick sharpening and few taps with my
Daed Toolworks plane hammer it was ready to go. Nice thin shavings and this board was flat as a puncture in no time! I shaped this plane to exactly fit my hand so it is incredibly comfortable to use.

Very satisfying to use a tool you made yourself on a special project.
