BIG jointer from a table leg...

An afternoons googling while watch the F1, revealed, amongst the really fugly dogs and stupid cat vids, this absolute beauty:

Even I can see how simple it would be to make.

The rear and iron/wedge look very much Barronesque.....

Remarkably beautiful indeed...and a great project if you can get a lump of tiger maple in the UK...

Must be some native woods that will do though...

Thanks for posting
