Winter Sucks

Sure, it's good for snowboarding, sitting around a fire, drinking beer, and if you're up to the task, cold-water surfing.  It has its pluses. 

But nothing beats warm water and hot sunshine.  Nothing.

In anticipation of a big summer, I've been planning, planning, and making.

Here's some Sea Dog (name still pending) hand planes, made from 100% reclaimed lumber.  Features a spooned nose, single concave and hard rails.  Its brother, the Sea Wolf (name ALSO pending) is going to be the same outline, except with engineered Vee cut into it, to aid in tracking, speed and maneuverability. 

All planes are going to be branded with a vintage Japanese branding iron that is on its way from the other side of the world.

More shots to come.

Enjoy the Stoke.
