Each year, for the past 14 years, we have produced a limited edition Commemorative Tool with the pledge to never make its identical version again. Last year’s edition, one of the more radical designs in the series and one of the most unique, was inspired by my first real fox sighting (you can see the stylized fox profile in the rear of the tool). Commemorative Tool #14, the Fox Tail Shoulder Plane, is now completely sold out (with the exception of a couple of blems with minor cosmetic flaws) and it is time to move on–again. If you missed it the first time around, here is a detailed review of the Foxtail Shoulder plane by David Mathias.
Farewells are often softened with strong memories. The images below, courtesy of our talented photographer, Joe Felzman, are provided as a final tribute to one of my all-time favorite tools.

Well the CT-14 must be an awesome tool, I have it’s little brother the HP-7 and that’s fantastic. I’m sorry to see the CT-14 go, but I’m looking forward to the CT-15, any hints John????
The CT-15 is going to be introduced later in the year. As in years past, nobody knows but me at this point–should be a nice addition to the family!
