Nothing like a planed and hand scraped surface.

no sanding…

Great joint and you can see the sheen from the hand plane...it doesn't get much better.

Sand paper can't get that feel or look.

Great job! Is that a Stanley 12, 12-1/4 or 12-1/2 peeping underneath? I assume that's what you used to get the final surface.

 

[Mike Davis]

Yes, a 12.

Unreal! That is beautiful. I need to invest in some planes. I said it before - less sawdust and more shavings.

 

[Mike Davis]

Bill,
I can probably set you up. The only thing I don’t have is a long jointer plane.

 

[JNCarr]

Awesome surface!

Mike: Great job of keeping the old craftsmanship methods alive and well!

TV/audio shelf removed and three linen shelves installed. Too nice a cabinet to throw away. More useful now.
