I received two planes from Lee Valley today, left and right plow planes of a smaller size suggested for box making. Like other Veritas planes made by Lee Valley, they are works of art. The crafting of them is exquisite.
Plow planes are used for cutting grooves in wood but can also form beads and coves. In box making you can imagine using them to cut grooves for inlay, or for bottoms to fit. With other cutters installed, beaded edges or panels could add interest to a lovely box.
The tight curls of walnut behind the plane in the photo below were formed in my first test use of the right handed plane.
These are lovely in their design and perfect in their manufacture. They can be ordered here.
