New handplane models...

So did some creative alchemy with our templates and came up with two new designs...

The first is a our mini-fish shore break hand plane stretched and chunked out a bit   the boards are reclaimed mahogany, paulownia with black walnut and western red cedar, and stained and painted paulownia, .Has some decent entry rocker and some healthy concave for lift

Ladies and gentleman boys and girls may I introduce to you    El Whopper and for those lost in the bilingual portion it translates to the whopper.  It was a combination of our big fish and the hand grip models.   El Whopper features a tapered hand hold, a good amount of rocker for transitioning down the wave  a single concave starting in front of the hole to help hide the hand that ends with a double concave out the tail.  It is made of atlantic white cedar, royal paulownia, and black walnut.   It is finished with boiled linseed oil...Oh yeah dimensions are tad over 19" by 9+"x 7/8"
