This double concave, super glossy, fish-shaped handplane is totally unique. The thick stringer is Douglas fir from the hull of John Steinbeck's Western Flyer boat. The lighter wood in the bottom half of the plane is Alaskan yellow cedar from Monterey Bay Aquarium benches. The redwood at the top and in the stripes is from an old hot tub salvaged in Aptos, California. The redwood on the bottom of the handplane was darkened by the water in the hot tub.  

We created a stand for this one that's made from a Honduras mahogany guitar neck from Santa Cruz Guitar Company that didn't pass their stringent quality test.

This handplane uses Entropy Super Sap Epoxy bio-resin which is made using mostly tree sap. The hand strap is nylon and adjustable. It is covered with off cuts from O'Neill Wetsuit product development, and the wood is shaped with our unique, ergonomic hand fit. The hardware is solid brass. As with all Ventana handplanes, this one floats so you can easily pass it between friends in the waves.

This handplane comes with a Ventana, double-thick, reclaimed towel bag with a Paracord drawstring from Khordz mugs.

You only need a single handplane on your leading arm for a great ride every time! This is a terrific conversation piece in your home and will slice you across the face of any sized surf.
