Attached are some plans and templates discussed at the meeting April 14, 2018. As Dave Anderson noted, one great source of information in helping you with your plane build is “Making Traditional Wooden Planes,” by John M. Whelan.

We will have a lot more to do and discuss at the June Meeting and BBQ … we will also have some additional resources and a refined carving template.

I was looking through a 1991 issue of American Woodworker magazine and found a great article on spoon carving written by Rick Mastelli.  He was the editor of Wille Sundquist's book on Swedish Carving.  It would be nice to share this with the folks who attended Tim's presentation because it seems to be a very thorough overview on how to get started carving spoons.
