Nice job. Looks nasty sharp, I think I can hear plugs screaming from here. That is a much cleaner cut on the flake as well. Great photo's as well, love the close-up of the plug...drool...
Do you think that Mc Millan was a brand or perhaps the store the cutter was used in?
I was just thinking, I'm sure I've seen some old English wood planes with that exact blade in them. Replacements would be pretty easy to source or to even have made.
I wonder if anyone makes plug cutters still...research time...new money making idea...
I think its advertising on the wood ? Its like a wood plane the name on the blade is a company that made lots of forged tools and knives,plain blades farming stuff industrial revolution stuff.
Also the blade has so much life in it still has full adjustment has not been sharpened a lot. When you run out of blade adjustment from sharpening you can reverse it and you have a new full blade to sharpen with full adjustment so life span it could cut 200 years or more worth of plugs.

ReplyDeleteWell birds-eye like that does bear a resemblance to a lava flow.
