Garry,
While not impossible, it seems unlikely as such a plane causes considerable

this stuff is difficult to resaw, the blade wants to wander into the wood as
it tries to follow an erratic grain structure.

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

I don't think that you'd use a spelk plane for shingles, since the width

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
