Recently, I held a contest on my Facebook page to pick a name for my White Oak Smoother. Well, plenty of great names were suggested, and two of them resonated strongly with me. So strongly, in fact, that I haven’t been able to decide between them! The names are Blue Collar Smoother, suggested by Derek Olson, and Journeyman Smoother, suggested by Trevor Angell. Since I couldn’t decide, I gave them both $50 gift certificates towards my planes.
So I’m asking for your help. If you would be so kind, pick your favorite name in the poll below. And just for a bit of added motivation, I’ll be entering the names of all who vote into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate towards anything for sale here on my site or even towards a custom commission. In order to be entered for the drawing, be sure to reply to this post with “I voted!” No need to share which you voted for of course.
I am passionate about creating beautiful furniture and hand tools out of wood. I find the grain and texture of wood to be warm, inviting, and inspirational. Because of this, I strive to design pieces that appeal to the touch as well as the eye.
