Just to recap where this Try Planes refurbishments stood 48hrs ago. The rear tote and front strike block needed gluing in, and the top coat finish hadn't been started.

And now. The rear tote and front strike block have been glued in. Followed by 3 coats of clear Danish Oil, 3 coats of Garnet Shellac, the surface then worked over with a cutting paste, and lastly 2 coats of tinted paste wax buffed to a medium sheen. End result looks reasonable. It will darken further over time to closer resemble its patina prior to refurbishment.

All that remains is to double check the soles flatness with the double irons in place, wax the sole, and test this wooden Try Plane's performance.
