A comment on the pitting on the soles is that, assuming a relatively even distribution, it will be purely cosmetic. Otherwise corrugated soles, which I confess I have never used, would not work, but were once very popular.
Cooktown Ironwood is a special timber. I have a piece from Brad's stash which is earmarked for a future series of projects.

I agree with you there Graeme, my fingers are only thin sausages, but the knobs still don’t feel right.
I have a type 6, 607 Bedrock that has the tall knob (by chance, it has a corrugated sole that also has some pitting and it still works good), the knob doesn’t look or feel right to me. I have got some Indian Rosewood that might make a shorter and wider knob one day.
Edit— I noticed we both joined up in April ‘06, and have a similar post count .
I gathered up a few suitable bits for you this morning Matt. Some of it is the same as I used for the woodwork on the “Rock” if you want to check out what it looks like. The pieces for knobs are big enough for wide knobs if you choose. There should be enough there to re-wood 4 planes.
I put a few pen blanks in the pile for Sally too. If she has any special requests, let me know today.
Well Paul, you have been hoarding that for while now. ( I shouldn’t talk about hoarding, now that I think about it )Brad.

Lead wiping and filling
I used to repair chrome bumpers on old VWs using lead wiping to make it perfectly smooth.
Here is a thing discussing it and showing the technique: Lead wiping/filling restoration and repairs - tech torque
It will fill those holes absolutely dead flat. On cast iron it would be hard to spot.

I don't even recall what that piece of timber was originally for, but somehow it didn't happen. There were several times I thought about using it, but each time, whatever it was, I thought it is too good for that. I do have some projects ear-marked for the future and I am planning to use it then. I won't say what they are in case they too don't happen.
Regards
Paul
PS: We won't mention hoarding, which is why it didn't appear in the main body of text.Bushmiller;

One person I know of claims that "Timber is like money in the bank." maybe we need to think carefully about where we store it.
