Review on WoodRiver #5 Bench Plane, V3 by Michael Keitt

Other than a small defect on the chip breaker this plane is beautiful. This and the woodriver #4 are the nicest planes I have ever used. Read my review on the #4 too. I really wanted a better plane than what I had and started doing research. I don't have a lot of money but I wanted a really good plane. I couldn't justify the cost of a veritas or lie nielsen but I could afford a stanley, benchdog or woodriver. After a lot of comparing I went with the woodriver. The cost hurt but again, it's the most precise, comfortable and attractive plane I own. Was it worth the cost? Well, I now own 4 different woodriver planes.
