I am having trouble posting more than one picture at a time, so I hope this doesn't disappoint-
I spent the past six weeks at a WW school here in BC Canada - part of the curriculum was building three planes a la Krenov style - a 1" jointer, a 1-1/2" smoother and a curved bottom plane. I posted a couple pics on a previous post. They were all Acacia with Hock irons.
I had a nice piece of Cocobolo and I wanted a bit wider jointer with more heft for shooting. I had to widen the centre section as it was a hair narrow. This the racing moniker as I used some Gabon Ebony I had.
The result is a 16" long x 1-1/4" cut x 1-7/8" high.
The start is the two centre sections and the two cheeks.
BTW, David Finck's book on the subject is a good reference if you need more details.
