Description

The Bridge City Tool Works CT-10 Low Angle Smoothing Plane is a beautifully crafted tool that embodies both precision and artistry. Manufactured in 2002, this mint, unused plane comes in its original walnut box. It is numbered 1199 and features factory-engraved initials S H Young, adding to its provenance.

One of the standout features of the CT-10 is its lacquered, “four-finger” sculpted rosewood handle, designed for ergonomic comfort without the visual interruptions of a spine bolt. Unlike traditional plane handles, this design accommodates all hand sizes, ensuring a comfortable grip. The handle is built around a turned 3/8″ diameter stainless steel spine, which is permanently fixed to the base plate and sole—completely hidden from view. This construction results in an exceptionally strong and heirloom-quality tool.

The front handle is hand-turned around a solid brass ferrule, which also functions as the adjustable throat locking knob. Raised off the sole, it provides ample space for finger placement, ensuring ease of use. The design eliminates visible screws or bolts, preserving the sleek, uninterrupted lines of this finely executed tool.

This limited-edition CT-10 is a remarkable addition to any collection, combining functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal. If you’re looking to showcase or sell it, emphasizing its unused condition, certificate of authenticity, and ergonomic innovations will certainly attract interest.
