Our development team is composed of subject experts and a computer geek. We have long been involved in researching and studying the history of wooden planes and the craftsmen behind them. This site is designed to carry on this process concentrating on new identifications, new information (including newly reported imprints) and providing pdfs of reference books, journals and past articles. We're also here to try and answer your questions.
Please join with us in this effort!
