Progress on the mitres....

All three of the mitres are now dovetailed, one has been peined together and infilled with madrone burl that I stabilized with acrylic.

This is how the pins are filed with the dovetail shape to provide the space for the peined metal to move into to form the locking double dovetails.

Tennons pass through the sole at the front and back of the plane.

The plane in the background is another block plane sized smoother that i am making for someone. It will be infilled soon with East Indian rosewood.
