Custom features:

The knob and handle are available in the following exotic woods: African Walnut, Afrormosia, Afzelia, Puriri, Rhodesian Teak, Wenge

I offer 3 different types of knob.

  1. Standard Knob, shown below is a knob that comes with the plane. It is made, just as all other parts, in a standard wood - Imbuia. If you choose a different wood type for the whole plane, the knob will be made in the wood of your choice.
  2. Deluxe Knob A1, shown below, will be made in Imbuia as a standard wood or in the wood of your choice.
  3. Deluxe Knob B1, shown below, will be made in Imbuia as a standard wood or in the wood of your choice.
  4. All knobs for planes S15, S15A, S20A, M12, and M20A are 60mm high and diameter is 50 mm.

All knobs are equipped with a top cap without slot for screwdriver. My new design doesn't require a screwdriver to attach the knob to a plane. The bottom of the knob is finished with a brass ring.

Deluxe Knobs, in addition to all features described above, are decorated with a brass ring.
