It's very hard and pretty heavy. I should have asked about it, though I'm not sure how accurate the answer would have been. I've never seen the cap iron and blade set up as it is on this plane. It is a very tight fit. What I can say is that all of the planes I got there are wooden, and none have a wooden wedge. More later.

What kind of wood is that? Looks oakish. I don't know much about Asian tools - is that setup with the two irons common? Looks like a neat and easy way to apply leverage without the fuss of a perfectly fitting wedge. Cool plane Brian! What kind of wood is that? Looks oakish.
