Re: [afoaf] Handshaped Paulownia Handplane Test
They aren't hard. This is the first thing I've ever shaped and did it in an afternoon. I think the water resistant properties of paulownia help though because I only had to oil it. This is only my first one so I can't compare, but my feeling is the fish tail is purely aesthetic.

Re: [lincolnlog] Handshaped Paulownia Handplane Test
Where did you get the wood from? I have been searching all over LA and Ventura counties trying to get my hands on some, any thoughts?

Re: [soulntradition] Handshaped Paulownia Handplane Test
I got it from a guy in North Carolina. The wood we got was horrible though and spent weeks trying to get our money back, despite a few good planks it was a disaster. So I wouldn't recommend that. I think there's going to be paulowina blanks in cali really soon though...

Re: [Otis] Handshaped Paulownia Handplane Test
Handplanes are coming back into style. Patagoina made them some years ago and stops because of delaming, but now they are at it again and going be coming out with a super-dupper high strength verson. And yes the swallow tail will actually help in stablity and directing your body or so patagonia guys say.
Great video,

That is where I first heard of Paulownia, but he is in Austrailia and they have it locally down there.
I did see a place in Georgia that you can buy a sapling and grow your own wood, but that is for when I buy my ranch up in Lompoc, ca.
Thanks for the help

Some folks say my rudders not right!!
Re: [Lavarat] Handshaped Paulownia Handplane Test
Hess handboards at $178 are a freakin' joke.
$178 buys alot more mexican carpentry than whats in those.
