In addition as I am the very lucky owner, I can tell you that even with some fairly heavy use there has been no change in the patina whatsoever. It is a such a pleasure to use and I loved the picture you used of mine with the plane on top of my chop for my new bench. As soon as the Santa Maria wood that I have acclimates the Winter Smoother is going to get a huge workout. :o) Thank you so much Ron, FredFredWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768316753299654684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799583606852363956.post-89656396748971867492012-03-13T12:46:03.028-04:002012-03-13T12:46:03.028-04:00Hello Ron,

I'm sure if you offer it, there will be those who want that included in their tool. <br /><br />Any info as to how you accomplished that look or is that a Ron Brese proprietary formula? <br /><br />Thanks Ron<br /><br />Doug B.Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799583606852363956.post-4903148297223826762012-03-13T10:30:38.255-04:002012-03-13T10:30:38.255-04:00Lovely.

It looks like it should have a user's mark clumsily stamped into the sidewall, and that's a compliment.tsangellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12907601820677317213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799583606852363956.post-86996392496152212852012-03-13T08:09:26.987-04:002012-03-13T08:09:26.987-04:00Ron,

In my new handmade planes takes a while to develop and I find them coming to me gradually with use. I like this approach as an option for a new plane, done properly it is very nice. <br /> As a luthier, I put my vote in for Koa, tha would be nice on the plane I have on order.<br /><br />Keep up the great work!<br /><br />RichardRichard Wilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00174534486190999877noreply@blogger.com
