antique 8" shoulder plane, first side

That thing sure is intricate.

Very nice - as usual

That's beautiful, Catharine.

Your work keeps getting better and better...and it was pretty good to start with!

Beautiful work, as usual. I sure hope the owner cleans the rust off the adjuster screw and knob, to respect the great artwork you've accomplished.

Wow, how many hours into that?

Wow. Very, very nice.

Thanks to one and all for the positive comments!
As far as time- that's a trick question! I've been doing this work for about 8 years- with practice and graver coordination comes speed- but continually studying and working at this enables me to "see" what I need to accomplish and add in more detail- so it's about the same amount of time, but much more detailed!

You've been working that same plane for 8 years?
