Here I am mocking up some handles for my tool cabinet.

This is my version of a block plane.

It is Apple (from a somerset cider orchard collected myself of course) with a

Lignum Vitae Mouth insert and a Ron Hock 1" High carbon Blade and Chipbreaker.
Here I am roughing out hence thick shavings, but it will do gossamer...

 

 

Concave front and convex back - not sure about these..

 

Detail of mouth insert.
