066 Eugenia uniflora as a gift

- !Hello everyone! In this episode i'm gonna build a tiny smoothing plane. As the material i'm gonna use very interesting piece of wood, wich was posted to me by Taylor. He describes it as eugenia uniflora. I've never use it before. Google says nothing about this WOOD (i mean the wood, not the tree) so if you have any experience with it just share it with us.
As the inserts (boxing) i used boxwood from my collect. It is kind of solutions wich helps to reduce wear of the sole during friction. The grain direction in the boxing is the key - it is perpendicular to the sole (glued with hide glue).
It is my own design of boxing - you can find more informations in the descriptions of my other videos.
Oh, and the iron - piece of an old and fat laminated plane blade. About 5mm thick. Works very stabile without chattering.
As the finish i use one coat of boiled linseed oil plus two coats of osmo 3032.
At the and of the video i have small suprise for those who decided to support me in my workshop developing :)
Cheers!
BTW. I don't take orders and usually i don't sell my planes.
The most sure way to get some of them is take a part in giveaways for my supporters.

Surinam Cherry, pitanga, or Brazilian Cherry are the names I find for Eugenea Uniflora. Seems like a really interesting wood.
Glad your back!! Sky is the limit for you! After watching your videos for 6 months I have built a new bench,stained and tung oiled all the wood oñ my tools.thanks for the inspiration
You're welcome Duane :)
Hell yeah, Gakos is back!!! I love this building. This wood seems tricky to work on, but came out very nice! Thanks for your time, Gakos!!
Congrats, Greg!
Hey Luiz! Thank you 🙂
That was great, thanks! Congratulations to the prize winner, and thanks to the gift givers, for the wood and the plane!
Thank you:)
Okay, that’s a new way to use a shooting board… a wedge on the floor of the shooting board to make the sliding dovetails is brilliant!
Nice work! it is a Myrtacea (perhaps the best known of this family is the Eucalyptus) Many times, knowing a little about the genus or family of the plant can be useful to have a general idea about the characteristics of the wood (obviously it is not a strict rule)
They are usually medium to coarse grained woods, medium hardness (there are very hard wood species in that family, but they are not the majority). From what I see, it behaves similar to eucalyptus under tools
I live in a place with a lot of eucalyptus and I kind of have to disagree with you. With all the eucalyptus I've ever used the grain is fairly tight and it planes really smoothly the color is red and white. I may be wrong in the sense that it could be related to eucalyptus but from all the eucalyptus I've cut down and seasoned and worked with it's very hard and dense and fine-grained and quite a bit different from what I'm seeing here. I've never seen this wood before or even heard of it but I'd be interested to learn more
I really appreciate the tapered dovetails in such a small tool.
I strongly believe they should be used more often.
Thank you 🍻
Дякую за Ваші відео уроки. Завжди їх переглядаю. Діліться будласка своїм досвідом.
Welcome back! I have missed your posts.
Hey Roger!
Un bonjour de france toujours un grand plaisir a vous voir continuez merci
Hey Laurent :)
I'm from Brazil and 'm well marveled that you even used this wood for it! Eugenia spp. is called "pitangueira", their fruits we call "pitanga" and we eat it, there's delicious juices made with pitangas and cosmetics by Brazilian business Natura... I never thought that pitangueira could be used to do woodworking.... because anyone cut pitangueira trees to do, only to collect fruits. There are several plainted on streets within whole Brazil
I don't know this tree but most fruit trees grow slow and the wood is hard. And it makes it a good wood to make things out if it
@@oneshotme come on to Brazil on early of the year, maybe between Januarry and April, and ask for anyone "there's any tree of pintanga near here?" And probably you will find some tree. You will like, proove the fruit pintanga. Its acid to sweet flavour
Sir you go way beyond craftsman to true Artisan.
Instrument makers would kill for this little beauty. Thanks for showing.
Hi Stavros! It might be desapointing but the wood is not Eugenia uniflora (Pitanga, Surinam cherry), It is native here and Iam very used to work with it. Yhe wood you are using for the plane looks more like a Lophira from Africa. Kind regards from Uruguay.
Thank you! I've never worked with that wood before so i'm based on the description from Taylor, he send me package of different woods. Azobe wood is much more dense. Cheers!
Eugenia uniflora is called Pitangueira here in Brazil. I did a little research and found that it's wood it's said to have good durability and it's well suited for tool handles
Eugenia uniflora wood is about the same hardness as citrus wood or European pear. It's a popular hedge plant in South Florida and once or twice a year it produces a cherry-like fruit that is very delicious when it's a reddish-purple color. The wood reminds me of ipe, but a bit more reddish.
Great beautiful work, both the plane and the video. Im happy today!
👍👍👍
Yay! I always get excited when I see a new Stavros Gakos video in my feed! Excellent work, I enjoy these videos more than any other woodworking videos.
Thank you!
Coś pięknego! Bardzo brakowało twoich filmów! Nie daj się prosić, i wróć do nas z filmami :) Pozdrawiam z piekielnie upalnego Cieszyna! :)
Dzięki! Staram się jak mogę :) pozdrowienia!
Great to see the videos coming again. No 1 channel on TH-cam for those of us interested in making planes, thanks.
Thank you Steve 👍
Very nicely done. I cannot think of any YT video that incorporates the use of a float, which you used so precicely. The coarse cutting of a rasp with a much smoother finish.
So nice!
Are the drawfiles your own design?
Thank you! It is classic design in my edition :) Cheers!
Eugenia uniflora is Brazilian Cherry. They make nice floors and furniture. It has many names including Eugenia Uniflora, Surinam Cherry and Brazilian Cherry to name a few.
I'm looking for detailed info about the wood, not about the tree.
I will see what I can find out. I am assuming that you are looking for Rot resistance, density rating etc.
We have waited 7 months for a new video from you. Now you give us a finger snap video that skips over major parts of the build.
Hey, when i make a snap it means that i showed it before in the same or earlier videos. Cheers!
Very enjoyable to watch. But I wish we had seen how you rounded off the side. Was it on a bandsaw? And why did you use boxwood for the inserts? Thank you.
Hey Andrew, thank you!

Boxwood is traditional wood for boxing.
Cheers!
Браво майсторе, много добре,успехи,живот и здраве,поздрав от България.
Thanks Niki! Cheers!
I love the contrasting colors of the woods. I also love how the texture of the woods are so different. The Eugenia unifora looks so porous like you could almost drink through it. Contrasted by the boxwood that is so dense it looks like ivory. Also I love the mallet. I haven’t started mine yet. I did buy the brass bar so I will find some time. Planning on walnut for the head and persimmon for the handle.
Thank you David :) Good luck with your mallet!
Eugsnia is pitangueira, a Brazilian very common tree.. but we eat their fruits, called pitanga kkk
Was that fish glue you were using for the boxwood?
No, it was hide glue.
mały a piękny i widzę że zapasy bukszpanu jeszcze masz ;)
Hej, zapasy mam spore 😉
@@pawelmartinchajewskicarpen7784 cena ustalana indywidualnie przez Michała, do niego kieruj pytania. Pozdrawiam
What a little cutie !
I'm saving this video for dinnertime :-)
I'll be back ...
Like usual very beautiful work!!!! You are quite the craftsman. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Thank you Yves! Cheers!
The quality of your craftsmanship is absolutely stunning! The beauty of your videos is that you make me feel as if I could just go out to my shop and do the same thing!
Thanks Dale!
@@StavrosGakos I just carve spoons as a hobby for a few years now and ocasionally make something out of wood. But when i saw you working with this piece and how it breaks... oh gosh, i wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole ;) Gorgeous work on a very difficult kind of wood!
@@ogi22 thank you Ogi!
W prehistorycznych czasach w Trójce P. Kaczkowski tworzył audycję Mini Max. Jej założenia identyfikuję w Twojej filozofii pracy i kanału ;). Drewno wyglądem przypomina azobe, ale na szczęście nie w obróbce ;). 👍
Dziękuję :) tak, jest podobne do azobe, ale nie jest aż tak gęste. Pozdrowienia!
Where do you find plane irons?
Mainly from allegro dot pl and olx dot pl
you make it look so easy that I pretend 'hey, I could do that'. No, I can't. Your talents are amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Tim! You should try :) Cheers!
the drawing at the end was pure class.
How did you learn some of the more subtle parts of plane making? As an example the way you do your boxing. Was it trial and error? Historic texts/works? A mentor?
As always your content is lovely and I'm excited to watch the video :)
Hey Grant, almost all informations i've found online on different sites / profiles / videos and than was only practice. I don't know other planemakers here in Poland, i worki alone :) Cheers!
Very nice work as always! Would love to learn more about the little brass plane you use at around th 17:33 mark in the video, did you make a video about that one?
He did - "032 Luthier thumb plane".
Thank you! Yes, video no 032 👍
Beautiful plane Stavros.At first I thought you were making the little one a smoothing plane so she could come and help dad 😂😂.I’m sure the person who is getting it will be in heaven with that.Nice job mate 👍💯👀
Eugenia Uniflora or the Suriname Cherry is listed in the Wiki, but not the wood database. There's some information about the plant, but not the wood it produces.
It is CITES listed as "least concern". It's a small tree or large shrub, about 7-8 meters high in the extreme, and conical. There are edible berries, although they don't always taste good. It is in the Myrtle family, a dicot member of the Angiosperms. It grows in South America, from Suriname down to Brazil and including Uruguay and Paraguay and Argentina. It has been introduced into Bermuda and Florida and an ornamental species, but it considered an invasive species. In its native habitat, it is sometimes grown as a hedge.
About the wood, the best I can do is what I saw on your video: It is coarse grained and the heart and sap woods are not readily distinguishable. I have no information at all about hardness and how it works. You would know more than I :-)
Votre travail, votre savoir faire est fantastique. Vous regardez travailler n’est que pur bonheur. Merci infiniment.
Bro that's not fair when u do the click of the finger thing.. I want to see how u made this beautiful piece.. I love to see all the work that goes into making a stunning piece of ART!!! like this little 066 Eugenia & I'm also sure the majority of the folks who watch these types of awesome videos will watch it right through..
Back in the 1960's 1970's and I think they were shown up til the mid 1980's here in IRELAND we had hour long shows about the old crafts in my country.. These were the crafts that were handed down through the generations and were in danger of being lost for good.. Things like building original fishing boats racing boats, etc.. Making baskets to chairs and tables in the old way in my country. Thatching roofs, etc.. I could go on but the way u make these little planes is so important to everybody bcos those in the world who love this stuff would like to be able to teach some of the future generations how to..
I love the style of ur little 066 Eugenia bro.. I salute u Sir aND i MEANT NO DISRESPECT BY WHAT i'M SAYING TO U EITHER..
I hope u have a website that we can hopefully go to and watch the full build of some of these items. It's the whole thing I love to watch.. I want to see how u arrived at the final piece however long it takes to video,, Show it all bro.. Please!
BTW I just found ur channel today. Thanks for making this little dude for us to see. U have ral talent man. Keep these awesome videos coming..
I had to look this one up. Interesting fruit!
About the video: I'm so happy to have anew video where you make a plane! About the wood (ugenia multiflora): it is a tropical tree found in south and central America that produces an edible red berry not unlike a cherry but with riges a bit like a pumpkin. For this reason it has received names like "cayenne charry" "brazilian cherry" etc. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenia_uniflora
Thank you! I'm looking for some informations about this wood, not about eugenia trees. Cheers!
Hello there.. Is this wood very expensive to buy some..?? I keep hearing how expensive timber is these days and just when I decided to begin my woodworking journey.. LOL.. Is there somewhere online I could go to buy wood from anywhere in the world that will get it to me wherever I live?? Is that possible? Am I asking a stupid question my friend? If I am then apologies for the silly stupid questions and also apologies for the long comment to u.. I just loved the fact u knew so much about this piece of wood bro.. Respect to ya pal..
Such a beautiful gift to add to a collection. Your truly gifted at what you do and always a pleasure to watch
Thank you Bradley:)
A tiny saw - 15 tpi or more, sharp with no set, in an educated hand, can cut to a couple of thousandths in accuracy.
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
tzn wygrałem ?
Seems like, congratulations!
Gratuluję! Będzie dobrze Ci służył ;)
That is a gorgeous little plane. First time I've run across this channel. Subbed.
Welcome Pho 🍻
The sanding block that smoothes out the rough edges before they fulfill the resting bed of another . the strength of two ronnies beneath the action so the sanding block does not go blunt only to cover the requests of many.
A treasured gift

Великолепная работа.👍 Вы молодец. Успехов в вашем деле.😀
Pitanga... jaboticaba... wonderful fruits
At what point did it stop being a tool and become a work of art?
Such a great plane.
👍👍👍
Mi estimado stavros grakos, felicitaciones, me gusta tu talento. Quisiera hacer uno similar en tamaño. Tengo madera de Roble. Y la cuchilla intentaré con un muelle de vw.
Thank you Sergio :) good luck!
Bravissimo ottimo lavoro complimenti sei un grande artista è uno spettacolo vederti lavorare 👏👏👏👍👍👍👋
É não teve jeito mesmo já toquei no cino estou começando agora minha carreira de carpinteiro e teria o maior prazer de ganhar uma plainadeira dessa pra ter o maior prazer de mostrar meus trabalhos e apresentar a sua marca aqui no Brasil vou continuar vendo seus trabalhos mais duvido que isso aconteça mais tá bom vou mostrar pra todos aqui esse lindo trabalho obrigado mestre 🇧🇷🙏 Deus abençoe 🙏
Im wondering, why you’re always put this boxwood inset to base? Is it a kimś of trademark? Regards
The box wood is a much harder wood, so it will wear down much slower. Since its harder than most woods you will work with its very resilient.
@@royseafus7399 yeah so why he didn’t make a whole foot out of boxwood
Only two points of the plane actually have to touch the surface of the material you are working! To make the plane glide smoother some craftsmen slightly hollow out the wood between the boxing.
Basic boxing is always by the mouth and by the heal. Box wood also grows very slowly and stays small, so it would be a waste and very expensive to "shoe" the whole plane.
@@royseafus7399 cheers 🍻 m8
Hey Kornel, boxwood is hard to find and expensive, that's why it was always used in that way. That two inserts will be enough to make the job 👍 Cheers!
Hello, nice work as always. Eugenia Uniflora is the scientific name to what is commonly called "Pitanga" in Brazil, it is a little native fruit that I used to eat all the time when I was younger. Strangely I have dealt with quite a lot of different wood species native to Brazil but never heard that the Pitanga tree wood was actually used. How did It hold up? The fruit is very acidic and has a strong and pleasant citric smell, how does the wood smell?
Thank you 🙂 i know all about the tree, but i'm looking for some info about the wood. It don't have any characteristic odor.
So how did you like the wood since you haven't worked with it before?? You made another beautiful tool!!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you! Because of britle it was quite tricky to work.
@@StavrosGakos You're welcome and thank you for letting me know
I just came across your channel this morning. Beautiful work!
Welcome Rob! Thanks a lot :)
Can you make a curved blade palm plane? Ken Parker showed one of his planes for a few seconds and it's the most brilliant plane I've seen for archtop carving.
Maybe one day 👍
@Stavros Gakos that would be amazing! Id love to learn myself
Just shows that to a master craftsman every single tiny scrap of wood is precious and can be transformed to a thing of beauty.
Much Respect.🙏💜
Thank you Michael!
Классный инструмент👍
Top man. Always a pleasure to see a new video. Thank you.
Thanks Chris!
The Eugenia carves beautifully! If you didn't mention the species, I would have thought it was black walnut.
I've always really loved your work and this piece is no exception. Not only is it stunningly gorgeous but it is just plain cool. I hope to see some more of your content in the near future because I've watched all your old videos a dozen times each and I would love to see more. Thank you
el " ñangapiry " , pitanga , ( eugenia uniflora ) crece en el noreste de la República Argentina, es un arbusto con una fruta pequeña y en mi ciudad (Buenos Aires ) se planta como ornamental, y lo resiembran los pájaros. . . tengo un pequeño trozo de esa madera, rescatado de una poda.
Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
My mind is blown, I have made planes, but I would not attempt making one that small. I will have to give it a try.
You should try Dale 👍 🍻
Lovely little plane. Thanks for the video, Stavros. Legendary skills as always :)
Hej Michał, dzięki!
Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo
Вы Мастер с большой буквы!
👍👍👍☕
Cual es el nombre de la madera de la cuña ? maple ?
Hello! The answer is in 11:46 :)
awesome job I might even try to make one but I noticed a scratch on your work bench you might want to fix that before you make another video 😂
Grzegorz is very lucky to win the draw. I'm not sure but with that name I hope he's not affected by the war in Ukraine.
Hey live in the Poland, the same as i. We have only information war here.
Hermoso trabajo Amigo 👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
Great job as always! I know you must have real joy and pride in creating these beautiful useful works of art. Stay safe my friend.
👍👍
Thank you! It is always a pleasure to work on another project :) Cheers!
Podziwiam kunszt i wiedzę... Mało osób potrafi używać takie narzędzia a jeszcze mniej tworzyć. Pytanie co to za żółte drewno?
Dziękuję, to bukszpan, u Polsce jeden z natwardszych gatunków drewna 👍
@@StavrosGakos Bukszpanu jeszcze nie miałem w rękach. Polecam użyć kiedyś drewno bzu lilaka do jakiegoś projektu. Również bardzo twardy.
Mam trochę 100 letniego lilaka, znajdziesz fotki na moim profilu na Instagramie :)
Estoy haciendo algunas de estas herramientas y me preguntan dónde aprendiste les digo de una persona que está en un lugar muy lejano se llama Stavros Gakos gracias por compartir tu experiencia saludos desde mexico
That's my pleasure :) Thanks a lot!
Quizas yo pretendo algun dia abrir un taller the madera para haver clavecinos y otros insteumentos musicalles de tecla, iré usar lo conocimiento que tengo com Stavros. Thank you again and Jesus, un beso e agradecimiento de Brasil!
Can you compare the workability and smell of Eugenia unifolia to other woods you know? Kind of looks like Ipe and mahogany had a a baby. Thanks for another gorgeous plane!
Thank you! It was more dense than beech, but a little bit britle (because of large pores). The wood have no odor. Cheers!
I'm not jealous. Not even a little bit.
Beautiful work as always our friend , glad you have posted a video , we have missed your content 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey John 🙂
Sesuatu yang anda kerjakan ternyata melahirkan sebuah karya seni yang sangat unik.belum pernah saya lihat alat serut manual se unik ini
Thank you!
Hi Stavros, you’re definitely my favorite craftsman to watch. How long have you been woodworking and/or building tools and things? Were you always just this gifted at it? Or did you start out like the rest of us lol?
Thank you! I started planemaking in 2014, but i worked with wood as a kid :)
I work and learn alone in my workshop 👍 Cheers!
Gotta change your name to Stavros Snackos because these videos are always a treat.
Very cool, I have not heard of that wood either I would have thought it was walnut. We do have Eugenia trees in the states but I don't think the wood looks like that. Thanks for showing us.
Thanks Troy! Please compare them whe you will have some eugenia. Cheers!
@@StavrosGakos If I see any being cut down I will, when I look on line I think what you have is a different tree than what is around here in the states.
The Suriname Cherry tree?
Hola buen trabajo, puedes decir q pega es la que utilizas gracias
Hello, wich paste?
Nice!
So glad to see a new plane and a new video
I hope to make another soon:)
Thanks!
Thanks a lot Gil 🍻
Hola, Me gusta ése arte. Para construir esas pequeñas, ¿Existirá una máquina que hacer a escuadra rectilíneo y etc.?

Matias Lucena 04 de Julho de 2022 ativando o sino aqui de João Pessoa Paraíba Brasil ,este trabalho fenomenal é digno dos grandes mestres DEUS o abençoe.
Good job!!. Nice mini plane !!.
How much is hard this wood " Eugenia .... " Congratulations Sir !!
Thanks! I don't know the price. Cheers
No !!!... my question is about de hard of this wood. Is'nt soft...
Oh, sorry i read it too fast. The hardness seems to be on the same level as the beech wood, maybe a little bit more. But it's quite britle.
I have watched a few of your videos, you are a very tradesmen. RESPECT!
Welcome Matt :) thank you!
Jak zwykle SUPER!
Pytanie,robisz strugi tylko dla siebie? Czy zrobisz też dla kogoś,za opłatą?????
Dziękuję! Przykro mi ale nie przyjmuje zamówień, nie mam czasu na ich realizację. Czasem zrobię coś na sprzedaż, wtedy pojawia się informacja na moim profilu na Instagramie, zapraszam do śledzenia. Pozdrawiam
