SPECTACULAR ANTIQUE BOXWOOD & WHALEBONE SMOOTHING PLANE. PLANE MEASURES 10" LONG FROM TOE TO TIP OF HANDLE X 1 3/4" WIDE. THE WOOD LOOKS LIKE BOXWOOD BUT HAS SLIGHT TRACES OF BURL IN IT, SO NOT SURE IF ITS BOXWOOD, BURLWOOD OR POSSIBLY CORMIER. BODY IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO CHIPS, CRACKS OR BREAKS, EVEN THE CHEEKS ARE PERFECT. COUPLE OF LIGHT STAIN MARKS ON BODY. WHALEBONE HANDLE & WEDGE ARE ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT, PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. BLADE WAS TO TIGHT TO GET OUT & WAS HARD TO FIGURE OUT THE MAKER MARK, LOOKS LIKE " RURYT & CO. " BUT IM NOT SURE, NEVER SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE. OVERALL A SPECTACULAR PIECE TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION. WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.
