A tiny, yet nice and simple, violinmaker's plane made out of one piece of cocobolo. This plane has a sapwood sole which contrasts nicely with the richer, darker heart wood. Not that the softer sapwood is really going to wear out that fast anyway. Cocobolo is quite a hard, dense timber so it should hold up OK for a number of years.

Not made in the "traditional" way as the slotted blade is simply clamped to the bed of the plane with a wood screw. Effective though! Plus it makes it easier for the shavings to not get clogged up inside the throat.

This little cutie was on eBay a number of years back, so I just had to grab some pictures for my database. Unfortunately I forgot to grab some of the details about it, so I don't know who made it or how old it might be. Offhand I can't remember how long this violinmakers plane was exactly but I think it was around 3/4". That would probably make the blade about 3/8" wide.
