works by Giovanni Antonio Terzi, Marco da L'Aquila, Heinrich Isaac, =

Garry,
While not impossible, it seems unlikely as such a plane causes considerable
distortion and fracturing of the wood fibers.

I guess it is just you, because it comes in perfectly for me.

I scanned a picture from Garrett Hack's Handplane Book. Hope they

recommendation for the book which can be found and ordered at

Actually, that's where I first saw mention of a Spelk plane.
I don't think that you'd use a spelk plane for shingles, since the width of
the wood passing through the plane was generally an inch or so.
The ribs from the 16th century had to either be sawn or split. As far as I
know,
I am always open to alternate methods to accomplishing any task in making a
Lute. However with this method I would think it would work well with
certain kinds of wood but with some of the highly figured hardwoods the
possibility of the wood shattering into shards is a likely outcome. Some of
Our Rhineland herring box spelk planes produce at least 3-4 inches wide
spelks. Those have got at least three handles to allow for at least two
strong Rhinelandish herring box spelk makers.
I learn from google that super surfacers are a certain variety of
electric planes. Correct? Bet you're
Please!!! let us know how it turns out. You are correct they did not have
two inch wide bands saw blades to resaw the fletches. However I don't think
splitting was an option either. If you have ever dealt with Curly Maple, or
Quilted Maple you are probably aware of how uneven this stuff will

My background is in archaeology, and I've been impressed over and over
by how pre-industrial craftspeople could produce exquisite results with
very simple tools. I remember a demonstration by a native American
basket maker who pounded the side of a green ash log with the butt of
an axe
Personally I've always wondered if some of the skills and techniques
for lute construction may have migrated from wooden boat building.

armed more with bravado than expertise, i made a
tapered set of pegs for my oud using a saw, a rasp and
varying gauges of sand paper. they turned out to be
surprisingly uniform, just from eye-balling them. i
went slowly and worked patiently till they fit. one

Bill,
by now you should be aware that carpentry and oud in Europe predate the
Crusades by many centuries.

tim, if your field is archaeology, would you happen to
know what sort of carpentry tools - if any - were
introduced into europe along with the oud
you're right - they were evident in countries all
along the mediterranean coastline but the returning
crusaders would have brought greater awareness of them
throughout europe.
if it's available, i'd like to know if any advances in
wood working and instrument making in particular could
be traced
Does it have to be a plane or a saw (resawing)? Lundberg's book speaks of
fine tuning the soundboard to varying thicknesses, would one use a plane in
all cases?. I might be judicious with sandpaper, and time. But there have
always been scrapers, even when they were rough stone. There has not
