A set of shoulder & rebate planes
I have recently completed the largest set of shoulder & rebate planes I have ever made. They are infilled with Honduran Rosewood and have bronze sides.
The rebate planes are 1", 3/4" and 1/2" wide and 9" long. They are all bedded at 28 degrees.
The wedges were all successively cut from a single piece of rosewood. There was a great “turn” in the grain that matched the shape of the wedge perfectly.
There was a bit of figure in the front infill blanks, so I shifted them forward or backward to catch as much of it as I could.
The two shoulder planes are 3/4" and 1" wide and are 8" long. These are bedded at 20 degrees.
These two wedges are also matching and have a similar grain pattern to the rebate planes.
The front infills of the shoulder planes were also cut from a single piece - the above photos shows the grain flowing from one plane to the other.
I am just finishing up 2 more planes right now - more Desert Ironwood later this week.

Other than the bed angle, what is the difference between the rebate and the shoulder planes?

Just beautiful.

Hi Tyler,
The planes were delivered two days before the customer was leaving for a woodworking course.

Hi Carl,
A good question - one that I had to ask many years ago. As far as infill planes go - the only difference is bed angle. The shoulder planes typically had smaller mouth openings... but most of the rebate planes I have seen have fine mouths. The only other difference is the overall shape of the body of the plane.
Cheers,

Thanks Aurora.

Holy Smokes...
Those are quite a set. One thing I really like is the way you cut and shape your irons. Wood is, as usual, beautiful!
