Great Mahogany W. Kent Coffin-Shaped Scraping Plane with 2″ Sorby Toothing Iron

Offered here is a handsome early scraping plane by W. Kent, featuring a classic coffin-shaped mahogany body and fitted with a 2-inch wide Sorby toothing iron—a pairing that speaks to both quality and tradition in fine woodworking.

The body is crafted from richly grained mahogany, shaped with graceful curves and a comfortable grip, showing the warm patina of age and careful use. The Sorby iron, clearly marked, is finely toothed and well-seated, ideal for leveling difficult grain or preparing surfaces for veneer work. The wedge is crisply fit, and the mouth is clean and tight—hallmarks of a well-preserved user’s tool.

Planes of this type were favored by cabinetmakers and patternmakers in the 19th century, and this example reflects both the utility and elegance of that era. Whether destined for the bench or the collector’s shelf.
