    This one is a Bill Carter-style mitre plane made from the spine of a Disston tenon saw.
    The wedge and infill are Aussie rosewood,the sole,bridge and nose are hard brass.
    The blade is recycled from an old coffin smoother.
    The smaller one in the second pic is made from the same metals.
    Infilled with Indian rosewood and the blade is from an old Stanley.
    The sole is curved both ways like a violin plane.

    Loosely based on a Norris thumb plane,the body on this one is bronze,with a mild steel sole and brass bridge and rivets.
    The infill is mulga with a lot of sapwood incorporated for contrast.

    Nice work Khan, you have made some beautiful tools there.

    Do you make them for yourself to use ?
