D'Angelico plane, large sole
$179.69
These silicon-bronze planes are a study in cooperation. They are based on patterns from Jimmy D'Aquisto's round sole planes for carving archtops and backs that were originally given to him by John D'Angelico. They were worked, reworked and refined with input from Steven Andersen, Steve Klein, Bob Benedetto, Marc Maingard, Guy Rabut, and Steven Marchione. The high carbon steel blades made by Ron Hock are about a third thicker than standard blades and offer more stability and closer throat settings.

Couldn't get it right
I wanted to like this as it is a solid nicely crafted plane, but even after honing the blade I struggled to get it to cut spruce he way I wanted to. It's pretty heavy and was not super comfortable for me to hold. If you have bigger beefier hands and wrists than it may work well, but I would fatigue very quickly using it and found myself reaching for my $30 1" gouge instead.
