Another action packed edition of The Sketchbook! Have a lot of things to share. It's all good stuff though, so I hope you enjoy. View this email in your browser My new 22" Jointer in Tiger Maple and Mesquite. Only one week left! Remember the Wood Plane Weekend contest I announced a couple months ago? A quick refresher: I will personally teach the winner to make a wood body plane, in their shop or mine. By the end, the winner will know their know planes inside and out. Every plane ordered during the contest is an entry to win. There is now only one week to go until the end of the contest, so be sure to get those orders in right away for a Block, Smoother, Jack, or Jointer Plane! Click here for more details on the Wood Plane Weekend. Custom Planes Have an idea for a custom wood combination that would make a great plane? Or do you have a prized piece of wood you would like to have made into one? Well, I do offer a custom option! Just email me with all the details for your custom plane and I'll put together a quote for you. Please note that some species of wood may not be best to make a plane out of. I will be sure to let you know any concerns I may have. A couple previous custom planes I have made for customers: 36" Cocobolo Jointer Mesquite and African Blackwood 12" Jack Share Tweet Forward to Friend

I actually haven't even drawn the winner yet. Horrible, I know! Been so busy with everything lately, including filming a plane making dvd for Popular Woodworking and working on a large plane order for Highland Woodworking (watch their site and for their fall catalog this week for the official announcement of this special edition plane) that I haven't had much time to come up to breath!
