A few months ago I acquired a 3" wide New Haven Tool Company timber slick. I'm not sure about the background....it's pretty old steel and the chisel part of it weighs in at about 3lb 11 oz. I have started flattening the back using a block and wet sandpaper up to 7000 grit....does anybody have any advice on forming a bevel...this thing is wider even than my #8 plane blade....here's a photo....thanks in advance for any input.
