    Default French Plane

    This plane came out of a French barn, it was given to a friend of mine. It now sits in his office.
    Very unique design, when you hold it as intended,hand /palm on either side with with index fingers on the cross bar, it has a very nice balance.

    In trying to learn a little about everything,
    you become masters of nothing.

    Nice plane, Iv'e seen them in books like that, US ones I think ,where the stick through the front was for a rope,someone pulled while the other held it down.The ones I saw were for large cornice moulds. Also seen them with a hole through the front for rope.
    Never seen one with the handles on the side like that .
    I wonder what happened to the other 1746 of them
