About one year ago my long time supporter Luboš lubos.sulc.cz send me an old jointer plane. This incomplete plane was find in one of castles in Czech Republic during roof restoration. As you can see in the video, the wole left side was cutted off.. Why? In Poland we say even the most older highlanders don't know it :) I think the cutted piece was reused for something, maybe for guitar fingerboard.
The most interesting thing in that find is the stamp Augusto Bocohin / Bocchin Buenos Aires Corrientes 38..
So how this plane came to central europe???
I got my theory but let me know what do you think about it.

At first i was thinking it is made out of rosewood so i started looking for a piece of that kind of wood. Tomas from Portugal (tinyroomwoodworks on instagram) helped me and send nice piece of rosewood wich was used as missing side of the plane.

After some suggestions from instagram i realized that the plane was made out of brown ebony / guayacan. Wooddatabase.com makes me sure. The rosewood piece i used look a litlle bit different but still looks very good. My mistake.

This project was a kind of international cooperation Tomy from Buenos Aires have the same plane and send me few photos. The tote drawing was based on them (with little changes), the kind/colour wood also.

I matched an old laminated plane blade and get the plane back to work.
Luboš i hope it will be serve you for many years!

Cheers!
