Description

A long, antique wood plane, with a rectangular base. There is a curved, circular handle with a hole in the center for the hands to grasp towards one end of the base, with a metal blade and wooden chip breaker angled into an opening in the center of the base. There are two holes through the width of the base, one towards the front and one more towards the middle of the plane, presumably where the plane was attached to something.
