If you supply me with your email, I can send you that information. <br />It is possible that the mary rose museum website also has an online collection of the artefacts found on the ship.Marijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839707199186597043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996432166551690323.post-10855333405627994372019-09-30T04:48:27.350+02:002019-09-30T04:48:27.350+02:00Hello from the colonies! :@)

I have a fletchers' finishing (hollow) plane based on the one found on the Mary Rose but am seeking to replace my modern, flat, block plane with a period replica plane.<br /><br />Thank you for your time and kind consideration.<br /><br />May your arrows ever fly true,<br /><br />Tim Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140492114346221422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996432166551690323.post-62029089697776241142018-05-07T23:34:21.766+02:002018-05-07T23:34:21.766+02:00Hi Hugh,
I am certainly interested to see your rep...Hi Hugh,<br />I am certainly interested to see your replica of the chavarines plane. As for archeological finds, there are not many medieval planes found. None from England. The only 14th century archeological plane find is from Greifswald, Germany. There are two more unusual german 12th century planes that will appear in part 6.<br />If you leave your email, I will then delete the reply shortly afterwards, so outside exposure of your email will be minimal.

I thought you may be interested, and happy to share pics of my progress and results. I would be keen to find if you have pictures and cross sections of any 14thC planes from England as I’ve had little luck with that (best I have is the stuff fromMary Rose, much later period). Happy to chat via email if that works, please let me know and I can leave a comment with my email address in it.<br />Cheers,<br />Hugh<br />Company of the Staple<br />Recreating life around the Company of the Staple in Calais, 1376 (based in Sydney, Australia)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736348539285091566noreply@blogger.com
