Description

The William Marples smoothing plane with a floral lever cap is a rare and fascinating tool that reflects Marples’ attempt to emulate the Bailey design. These planes were unmarked, as was typical for Marples’ short-lived venture into this style. The floral lever cap design adds a touch of elegance, though it often shows wear over time. The plane measures 8 1/2″ in length, with a 1 7/8″ wide cutter, making it a practical size for various smoothing tasks. Additionally, the original japanning is 85% to the good, a remarkable feature that speaks to its well-preserved condition.
