Very nice work on this, this plane looks great. Does work as nice as it looks? What made you decide to re-sole it, abnormal wear?

Thanks Tom.
It works as nice as it looks on nice straight grain, but I made the wedge angle a bit too steep to allow for the flex you get in Yew, so hit a knot or some figure and the wedge shocks itself a little loose.
Re-soled because the Yew was taking a bit of a beating, a bit too soft for the abuse I was giving it.

All in all - I'm calling it a learning experience for the next one 😁

That looks great Mike, well done and a nice shape on the sole.

Cheers Eric -Nice shape as in rectangular? 😀
