Guys,
In case you ever asked yourself.... I wonder if this plane really works the way they claim on highly figured wood. I wonder if I should lay down a few bucks for this good looking plane?!
The answer is YES. ....I'm very happy with this puppy!!!

just thought someone else might be on the fence about this scraper ...go ahead and get it. Nothing more than a scraper in the footprint of a #4 smoothing plane, but the LV has a scootch more "big hand" room than the equivalent Stanley Bailey model, for you big "three sandwich eating" types like me... You'll like it!!
Did the initial smoothing with a Stanley 5 1/2.
