Stanley #4 Type 11 Plane Corrugated Sole V Logo Iron Great Wood Tuned Sharp
Details
Up for sale is a super nice Stanley #4 type 11 hand plane. This one has the corrugated sole and the V logo on the iron and it is bold. I have partially restored this plane. The Japanning was very spotty so I stripped it off and re-Japanned it using Stanley's original factory recipe and baked it 5 times. I have sharpened the iron going through the grits up to 8000 and it is super sharp. The iron is 7 3/8" long so couldn't have been sharpened much. I have flattened the sole and the sides. I have also flattened the chip breaker and lever cap to fit tight to the iron. I believe this is a later model type 11 as it has the tall knob and the hour glass shaped brass nuts. The rosewood tote and knob are in great shape and show their original patina. The knob has a hairline crack at the base that only goes up about 1/2 an inch.
