About one year ago my long time supporter Luboš lubos.sulc.cz send me an old jointer plane. This incomplete plane was find in one of castles in Czech Republic during roof restoration. As you can see in the video, the wole left side was cutted off.. Why? In Poland we say - even the most older highlanders don't know it :) I think the cutted piece was reused for something, maybe for guitar fingerboard. The most interesting thing in that find is the stamp - Augusto Bocohin / Bocchin - Buenos Aires Corrientes 38.. So how this plane came to central europe??? I got my theory but let me know what do you think about it. At first i was thinking it is made out of rosewood so i started looking for a piece of that kind of wood. Tomas from Portugal (tinyroomwoodworks on instagram) helped me and send nice piece of rosewood wich was used as missing side of the plane. After some suggestions from instagram i realized that the plane was made out of brown ebony / guayacan. Wooddatabase.com makes me sure. The rosewood piece i used look a litlle bit different but still looks very good. My mistake. This project was a kind of international cooperation - Tomy from Buenos Aires have the same plane and send me few photos. The tote drawing was based on them (with little changes), the kind/colour wood also. I matched an old laminated plane blade and get the plane back to work. Luboš, i hope it will be serve you for many years! Cheers!

My theory is as follows. Early in 20th century there was a lot of immigration from europe, i personally knew a polish man who was a fine artist in woodworking. At that time, argenyine industry was top class. Most probably the plane was sent to europe as a gift to a fellow woodworker who stayed there.

In Argentina that wood is also known as "quebracho colorado" and was used for making railroad sleepers and for the extraction of tannin. Up until the XX Century there were large forests of that wonderful wood, which were devastated by uncontrolled harvesting.

Corrientes 3877 is the address, Caballito neighborhood. Corrientes is one of the famous avenues in downtown Buenos Aires, often mentioned in Tango lyrics! Guayacan in Argentina is Caesalpinia paraguariensis (Libidivia is a synonym), Family Fabacea, however the same common name: guayacan is applied to other genera of the same group throughout South America and even some members of other families. I deeply admire your skill, the peacefulness of your videos and your dedication to make beautiful tools. All the best!

We were watching the video with friends from here in Argentina... and we are in doubt because at first we thought that the wood could be ALGARROBO, which is used in furniture and is very hard and heavy... however, it is a bit redder we discard the QUEBRACHO which is extremely hard and is also used in carving sculptures... We thought after much discussion AND WE GIVEN YOU THE REASON that it should be GUAYACAN Here we are happy that you recycle our history ABRAZOS DESDE ARGENTINA

Dear Stavros. I was blessed enough twenty three years ago to take home a pallet from work. I was working in a production cabinet shop and would get pallets of mahogany paneling from Indonesia. Most of the time the pallets were made rather nice mahogany but I got one that was very heavy. It was maccasor ebony. I have made many tools and tool parts from this material over the years. Very hard and rather difficult to work. I am building a bow saw with some at this time. It has been a long tedious process. Beautiful work and a wonderful restoration. Happy new year. This has been a great way to ring in a new year. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.

It looks very comfortable to use. I like the fact that the front portion of the "hand hole" wasn't chamfered as much as the part where you grip. That's very similar to many historical hand planes I've seen.
