My First Engraved Plane By Ian Houghton.

Ian has always wanted to engrave one of my planes and like wise, I have always wanted him to engrave one for me. At last we got together, Ian had a free hand with the design and I am delighted with the result.

At a later date I would love him to engrave 1 or 2 of my metal planes.
