I don't care how it came out. That can easily be solved . It's how you went about it that stokes my fire.
Excellent. You can think on your feet.
A bench plane. Who'd have thunk it?

HaHaHa!
Been there done that. I started my carving career building decoys. Back then I too was in the basement.
3 AM my wife comes down as I'm hacking out a blank and asked me the same thing. "what the h*ll are you doing"? She's a couple floors up. Kids too.
" Ahhh , making a Sharp shinned Hawk"
" Did you forget you have to be at work at 7:00,,,,idiot ?"
The Hawk came out pretty nice regardless.Last edited by mycarver; 10-08-2014 at 04:03 AM.

Very nice restore, being a Carpenter by trade myself I have a small Stanley block plane that I use for lots of tasks and having worked and made horn scales by hand many times after seeing this I'm going to try my block plane out on a piece of horn in the future. http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...ales-hand.html

I am not advocating the use of a hand plane for thinning your horn. It is a lot of work,the plane should be heavy,tuned and the plane iron very sharp, if not you can experience tear out. It appears that horn has some grain to it somewhat like wood ,and horn does not grow flat it is pressed flat and that grain can dive away from the plane iron , the result being that the plane iron can rip material rather than slice it. I will take my belt sander outside next time, or make sure SWMBO is away.
