We have an exceptional range of premium block & apron planes from world-renowned brands such as Luban, Ryder, Soba, and Veritas. Our collection is tailored for woodworking professionals and enthusiasts who demand precision and superior craftsmanship in their projects.

What is a block plane best used for?

Block planes are one of the most essential tools in a carpenter or furniture maker's toolbox. They are used to literally and practically smoothen out rough edges. Rough edges in the form of end grains can diminish the quality of your work, giving it an uneven look and feel.

What is an apron plane used for?

In the early stages of a piece, an apron plane might be used to make small adjustments to the ends of squared timber blanks, or to create chamfers on waste material before it is cut away, both to aid visibility and prevent breakout.

Discover the perfect blend of functionality and elegance with our block and apron planes. Each brand in our collection brings its unique expertise, offering exceptional cutting performance, adjustable features, and ergonomic designs. Whether you need a compact block plane for fine woodworking or a versatile apron plane for larger projects, our collection has you covered.
