On June 1 I announced that Brese Plane, my new blog sponsor, was offering a new project plane iron as a giveaway:

I drew a name at random, and I am happy to announce that the winner of the plane iron is Michael Dove, of Cedar Rapids, IA. Congratulations, Michael! You will love this iron; I used the little brother to this one, when I made my first-ever Krenov-style hand plane.
