Steve, your work is as clean as it gets! really inspiring and beautiful. I like the natural look, it also ages more gracefully IMO.

Looks great - some oil from your hands along with some mutton fat will darken it up over the years anyway.
Nice job!

Terrific looking plane Steve! I wish I could get that level of fit and finish on everything I build. It's inspiring to see. Thanks for posting it.

Steve that is pro work! I love how the chamfer rolls over the rear edge....and I like the makers mark just as it is. What radius did you grind on the blade?

Thanks again all, for all the nice comments.
Hey Jeff! I don't know the radius; I think in terms of camber. I think there is about .050 camber, and I plan on reducing that a little as I hone, maybe to about .035 or .040. If I can take a chip that is about .030 at the thickest point and the iron cuts almost to the corners, that's my preference.Originally Posted by Jeff Bartley
