John Cogdell beading plane returned to service!

This plane belonged to my GGGrandfather Henry Osborne Ambrose (1799-1875), and was made in London by John Cogdell (1750-1765). I sharpened the blade to 8000 grit and it cuts a glass smooth bead--after 250 years. To hold this tool in my hands and use it is such a wonderful connection with Henry Ambrose.
