That looks absolutely stunning - love how clean the edges and shaping looks.

Some talent on show here :)

Tuffers,,,,I’ve not touched or needed a round bottom plane since getting a travisher,,, I could almost do a raw cleft to a bat using the travisher alone, it would take a bit longer,and kill the edge on the travisher, but it is almost a one batmaking tool.

The press is done ,,, but I might strip it down and start again
It’s way over engineered for what I need, and takes up all the room in one of my sheds, and hopefully we are moving house soon, so it needs stripping down anyway.
