I was looking around my shop, has been closed up for winter. About to get into it for summer. I found this ebony chunk again. It is 2" thick, about 2-3/4" wide and about 8-1/2" long. I am thinking of making a plane but my skills are limited to making a Krenov style plane; I would have to cut it into pieces and then glue it back together. It is wide enough for a 1-3/4" iron I think. It really should be left in one piece and the mouth and shoulders for the wedge just cut out of it, something that would require more time than I have. Maybe more skill than I have. What would you do with it if it was yours?
