Description An unusual plane consisting of a long (8") wood handle with a metal yoke on the end. Suspended between the ends of the yoke so that it pivots is a small (2.25" wide) plane head. This plane has a slight curve to the shoe and iron. The frog is permanently attached on a rod that allows it to pivot slightly. One suggestion as to its use is to plane the inside of wooden barrels.
