Version 1.1

I've had a request for some pics of my home made attempt at a hand plane. Its made from pine because it is cheap, easy to work with and I'm not planning on it lasting very long. It is deliberately rough and basic so I can change things and see what works or doesn't.

Last night I took out some thickness in the nose and added some more entry rocker. I also made the slight bottom concave flow better into the nose. I had found that it surfed good when I put two hands on it but dolphined when I just had one or it was running in white water. I'm hoping that this might make a bit of difference.

Any suggestions are welcome !
