Well I just started down a whole new slipery slope I just finished my first Krenov style plane with a hock iron chipbreaker set. It is roughly the size of a #5 bench plane, the body is made from hard maple, with a cocobolo sole, wenge pin, and qs white oak wedge. The sides are milled square with the sole so it can be used as a shooting plane, especially for shooting veneers.

And I might add that it cuts very very nicely
