Seems like not as many planemakers on here- but thoughts on adding blank sizes for standard planes and/or molding planes? I have some info from my own research i can consolidate and shoot over.

Sounds good to me, I have a few I could measure up as well and see if I have sizes other than yours. I likely only have 6 to 10 depending on how my memory works at to where I stored stuff ...

How about 1 x 6 x 6 for saw handles and 1.25 x 1.25 x 7 for turned chisel/rasp/file/etc handles?

Oh nice. I'll have to add those in too...
 
Can I provide some flute blanks sizes please?

For Native American-style flutes this is the overall size; they are made from a pair of blanks each half this size (so 1 x 1 x 12" comes from two pieces @ 1/2 x 1 x 12").
There's a little wiggle room depending on wall thickness. The exact key will depend on the wood.

Native American-style in high A (bottom note A5; 3/8" bore) 8-10 x 3/4 x 3/4"
Native American-style in high E (E5; 1/2" bore) 11-14 x 1 x 1"
Native American-style in A (A4; 3/4" bore) 16-18 x 1.25 x 1.25"

For other wooden flutes the sizes are something like this, though I haven't done them myself.

Irish flute/piccolo/soprano flute 12-14 x 1 x 1"
Alto flute 23 x 2 x 2"
Tenor flute 30 x 2 1/2 x 2 1/2"

The "irish flute" that you are referring to is actually the irish tin whistle/penny whistle (sometimes made from wood). A true irish transverse flute (low D) is usually at least 55 cm long and often longer up to 65 for very thin bore diameters. Low whistles are of a similar size. For the tuning joint I usually needed 2-3 cm extra which is why I used stock that was 70 cm long. That is 27 1/2 inches long. Keyed transverse flutes need more thickness for the pivots. I don't know how much this is as I only made one or two and that was a decade ago. I liked 5 cm or 2 inches for wall thickness so for low irish whistles.

For the final dimensions we have:
70 cm by 5cm square
27 1/2 by 2' square

Nice thanks. I actually took the Irish flute size from Espen. I'll have to look into the Irish transverse, sounds interesting.
