Hey Scott

Interesting plane there. I keep looking at it & wondering...

I've never seen a T&G plane that wide. And I can't see why it has such a 
wide blade for such a narrow job. Do you suppose somebody took a garden 
variety bench plane and converted it for a special purpose plane, inlay 
and all?

Don, enjoying the quiet, but not the snow!
