Kevin Brawley bodysurfing during a clean fall day in Marin County, Northern California.
The twins… one for me, one for Mike. On the large end of the handplane spectrum, these solid poplar sleds measure in at: 21″ x 8.5″ x .75″ with single concave starting mid-length and running through the tail.
Homemade handplane #13: from a block of Koa my brother brought back from Hawaii, featuring a wide single concave bottom. This dense wood resulted in the heaviest handplane I have made yet, but it has heaps of glide… a way of pulling you along, and cleaving a line through any chop.
A couple of my photos accompany Mark Lukach’s article, “Why I Bodysurf” at theinertia.com Well done, Mark!
