- Description
- A wood plane. The plane has a dark wooden body, metal blade, and it is missing its wedge. The cheek and eye are carved out of the center of the body. The sides of the plane are squared, as is the heel and the toe. The arch-shaped handle projects from a slot near the heel at ninety-degree angle to the body of the plane. The blade protrudes from the bottom of the plane at the mouth, a narrow rectangular cutout for the blade. An associated white, paper tag with handwritten black ink reads, [[---?] [PL?]ANE]. The back of the tag is blank.
