Not sure if it's limited to this recipe or if the old bug is back of non consumed items are being consumed on failure, but Planing Tool was consumed on this combine. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/recipe.html?recipe=47536 If you need it, Aziuno - Phinny - 09:38:26 Central Time.
Likely hit a critical failure where it does not return certain materials compared to a normal failure. Did the output say you created an alternate item or something along the lines of that? You failed the combine so hard that you cracked your planing tool in half (would be by design/lore).
Are you sure it is a bug, I seem to remember an old bug report for some of the shawl quets, where a ts item was intended to be consumened ?
Usually it's like a pottery, jewelry, or smithing mold. It's rare I do tools like the planing tools, hammer, scissors, etc.
