Paulownia handplanes coming soon...


Until now, I had always shaped on Poplar wood because of its price and okay weight-to-strength ratio. Today I got my first round of Paulownia blanks from Rod at Paulownia Barn. They are amazingly light and really nice blanks. I have felt the paulownia handplanes before but have never shaped one so I am very excited. As soon as I can stand without crutches I will be all over these blanks.
