	What hand plane would you recommend for smoothing an end grain cutting board? I haven't made one yet, but I know enough not to run one through my planer. And shockingly I don't own a hand plane at this time.

	Working on the rear legs of this rocker. I am planing the faces true and flat for the seamless leg to arm joints. This face must be dead on flat and smooth in order for the arm to mate up properly. The imperfections must be planned away. Got it. Arm blanks in the back. It doesn't look like much yet. But it will be!

	Well, last weekend I was out in the shop just cleaning up still, and loading a cord of firewood that was delivered to our home, after we stacked the wood I continued cleaning up the shop and getting ready for some jobs coming up, and my son wanted something to do, so I told him to go over to the wood bin, grab anything he wants, and I pointed him to my bench of planes, and he picked out an old Stanley spokeshave, he put a piece of scrap up in the vise, and he commenced to shaving down that piece of wood till he had a "spear" to go with a gladiator shield he and I made together a few weeks back. My son was on that stick shaving it down for two hours, just having a blast, yep, just stick a piece of wood in a boys hand and give him a saw or a plane and sit back and watch him entertain himself!
