Have you experienced the satisfaction and nuance of using a finely tuned, hand made wooden plane? This beautiful and sensitive tool is the heart of many fine cabinetmakers’ work. Made to comfortably fit one’s hands, wooden planes with their extra-thick blades and fine throat openings, bring an exquisite, vibrant surface to wood. Making your own planes improves the quality of your craftsmanship and extends the range of design possibilities. 

Craig draws upon his training under James Krenov at the College of the Redwoods and his many years of making and using these fine tools to guide participants through the construction and proper use of a smoothing plane. An excellent class, not to be missed.
