Veritas Scraping Plane for Working Figured Wood

Description

I recently purchased a small shops inventory and I am slowly selling the extras. These are items I have extras of or that I no longer need. Please read the description for details:
The Veritas Scraping Plane is used for the final levelling and smoothing of large, flat surfaces, even if they are highly figured, prior to applying a finish. Because it has the same configuration as a bench plane, it is comfortable to use for extended periods of time and the large sole ensures the surface of a workpiece is accurately flattened.
Given the fine cutting action of the scraping plane, it is used after the surface has been prepared as well as possible with a smoothing plane, not in place of the smoothing plane. What the scraping plane does replace, however, is the need for sanding prior to applying a finish. Because the scraping plane cuts the wood fibers rather than tears them, it will further bring out the wood grain, rather than mute it as sandpaper would.
A feature unique of the Veritas scraping plane is an integral thumbscrew that bows the blade to eliminate ridges in the work surface caused by blade corners. The plane comes with a 0.055" high-carbon steel blade suited to this technique. The blade is 2 7/8" wide and hardened to Rc48-51, and comes with the cutting edge ground at 45°. The adjustable frog enables blade angles from 0° to 25°, providing fine control of the cutting action.
The 9 1/2" ductile cast iron body has been fully stress relieved, machined, and surface ground on the sole. Weight is 4 lb.
