For Sale
Argentine Osage Orange Miter Plane
$375 SOLD!
-
Inspired by 19th‑century American miter planes, this design shares their rectangular narrow body and single iron bedded at 40°. This lower bedding angle reduces cutting resistance and provides superior performance when trimming end‑grain.
A steel sole adds durability and wear resistance while lowering the center of gravity. This gives the plane a planted, rock‑solid feel in use, yet it still retains the lively, lightweight responsiveness that makes wooden planes so enjoyable.
The 40° bedding angle provides an optimal balance of low cutting resistance and effective shearing, particularly in softwoods, burls, and straight‑grained hardwoods. Reduced fiber compression and improved chip formation translate directly into a smoother, more efficient planing stroke.
Specs:
- Argentine Osage Orange body
- Canarywood wedge
- 1-1/2” wide O1 blade
- 8” long
- 40 degree bed angle
- Bevel down blade
- Steel sole
- Ebonized finish
Selection Note:
Two planes are available, one with a walnut inlay and one with a splated sycamore inlay. They are sold individually. Purchasing this listing means you are buying one plane, not both.

The “Forged Hand Plane” a 16th-Century Replica Block Plane
$425 SOLD!
-
Offered here is a hand‑built replica of a 16th‑century European block plane, modeled directly after an original held in the MAK Museum in Vienna. This piece was constructed using methods that closely mirror the surviving artifact. It was forged, brazed, fitted, and finished with the working character that defined early tool making.
The surfaces retain their tool marks and hand‑worked texture. The result is a plane that shows exactly how it was made and remains true to the look and feel of period work.
This plane is fully functional, but it is foremost a study in Renaissance‑era craft. It’s a working interpretation of a museum piece, built with period methods and details that brings the presence of a Renaissance workshop into your own.
Specs:
Steel body and wedge
1-5/16” blade
4-1/8” long x 1-7/8” ”wide
32 degree bed angle
Bevel down blade
13 oz

History
"Commonly known as dancing-master calipers, many different legged calipers were shop made throughout the 18th and 19th and centuries and into the early 20th century. The calipers get their name from their shape, usually dancing legs, though some show entire silhouettes of ladies or men (and, occasionally, on a risqué example, both). Considered folk art, many dancing-master calipers show the whimsy of their maker: legs bare or stocking clad, female or male, elegant or awkward. Though the profiles on most calipers look best with the legs set to check inside dimensions, the legs can usually be rotated to take outside measurements as well." - The Art of Fine Tools by Sandor Nagyszalanczy, p. 21 -
