| Sauer & Steiner SNo.4L in Desert Ironwood |
Just back from another visit with the plane-building man-genius Konrad Sauer from Sauer & Steiner Toolworks; these visits are always fun to catch up on the latest projects, family and the general state of the woodworking world.

This time I picked up my new SNo.4L smoothing plane in Desert Ironwood. During my last visit we sorted through his collection of interesting woods and picked out a nice piece of figured Desert Ironwood; Konrad kept me updated with pics as he opened it up to reveal a stunning example of this wonderful material.
I continue to be amazed at the variations and unbelievable figure this wood reveals, Konrad's post here shows some other amazing examples here.

Aside from a stunning looking tool, this baby works like a dream, like butter through an amboyna burl and birds-eye maple.
Again, the experience of using a tool designed for my hand and my eye is a pleasure one has to experience to understand.
Back to the shop.
