Most famous tool? *LINK*

>I saw this on Tony Murland's site and couldn't help but wonder what the tool's function is. Some sort of scraper?

>Pam,

It's an axe head. Whether it's *the* most famous tool...that depends on who you ask.

>Thanks, Wayne. Looks like the art overwhelmed the tool design.

While you're here, care to comment about the "best planemakers" confab at Pop Wood?

>All I can say is I had a unforgetable time. The Popular Woodworking staff went way out of their way to make us feel welcome. Finally got to meet some of the best toolmakers in the business. Never met a more friendly bunch.

I can't wait to read Chris Schwarz's article(s) about the event, and his reviews/observations about the planes that were there. I won't comment on individual planes, except to say that the fit, finish, and most importantly, the performance of the planes, was astonishing. Hope we can do it again sometime. -Wayne
