I found your blog as I was looking for information about how/whether to prepare the sole of Japanese convex soled planes like a Sotomaru. I haven't been able to find any information in English on this topic. I bought a Sotomaru plane with a chip-breaker from Japan on eBay and the front section of the sole is about 1/32" shallower than the back, however there is no profiling of the sole. I'm confused, as the plane is clearly used and not new. I would have thought that there would be some conditioning of the sole.<br />Anyhow, I hope you are still active and occasionally checking this blog. Thanks for any input you can provide!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075994085971249532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516147879960334586.post-37367793818720810802014-10-08T03:09:17.141-07:002014-10-08T03:09:17.141-07:00Thanks Jason!

I hope she one day learns to appreciate the beauty of shavings too.

That last photo is particularly good (and it shows an additional, seldom mentioned benefit of Japanese planes: They are the perfect thing to hang on the wall. "Modern art for modern living!).<br /><br />Beautiful work.<br /><br />JasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06740185043053833321noreply@blogger.com
