>That's what planing lignum vitae feels like... Man, that stuff is hard! At least it doesn't tear out, at least so far...

Smells nice though, like chocolate when sawn...

>Hey Scott,
You might want to talk to Steve Knight about the ipe. He uses it as the sole for many of his planes. My 2 Knight bench planes have iipe soles and they are slick, slick, slick. Very nice indeed.
