Gunmetal Shoulder Plane By John Holland

A rather angular looking “improved pattern” gunmetal shoulder plane by John Holland of Lambeth in London, featuring a steel sole and a tight mouth.

Modelled on a pattern made famous by Spiers, this gunmetal and ebony shoulder plane features scrimshaw work on the finial of the wedge.

An nicely shaped user-made cast iron bullnose plane measuring 3-7/8″ long and 1-1/8″ wide, with an ebony wedge.

A slightly different style of infill shoulder plane by Slater of Clerkenwell. The infill on this one is ebony and features a “rhino horn” design.

Most collectors would be familiar with G. Miller’s shoulder planes, but not many would know of his equally charming little chariot planes.
