This machine was in the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, ME Not in use now, the original machine would take off 2" per pass. Sorry for the poor photo. The vertical flat belt powered shaft went down to the center of an arm. At each end of the arm a cutter hung down at a right angle

Comments: Note the curved lines from this Daniels style planer - the wood is a locust knee used on the big schooners
