Five Fancy Engraved Violinmaker’s Planes

                                                                                                      Printer-Friendly

The swirling lines and attractive stippled background look great on these five modern violin maker's planes. Cast in gunmetal and carefully engraved by someone who obviously knows what they're doing, these violin planes bear the name "M Weston" on the side, possibly being the name of the maker himself or the owner (though we suspect the maker).

The levers are held in place with split pins - another indication that these planes are indeed modern.

An added benefit of the engravings is that they provide a more "grippy" surface to hold on to than a smooth sided plane would.

Every bit as functional and a good deal more classy than your stock standard Ibex planes.
