You will get a very dark green stain which then turns black. Of course you could experiment with masking techniques but I find it is easier to just burnish with a 0000 grade steel wool and then there is no staining. To let brass sided planes oxidise naturally adds to their charm. k Hi Archie

Do you ever find that when working with boxwood and metal the sharp meeting edge between the boxwood and the metal can tend to show a black line ? Best wishes, Archie. Very nice Karl.

Thanks so much for sharing. I would love to see a video of you milling a round post (spigot) from the sheet of steel. I think I am building a deeper knowledge and appreciation of metal working in reading your blog. thanks Cyrus What fun I am having reading your blog. Thanks so much for sharing.

I am really new to woodworking and I probably don't have the experience and knowledge to fully appreciate how great your plane is, but I wanted to say I think they look awesome.
