These tools have been selected with the user in mind. Most have been cleaned and are ready to use except for sharpening and a final tuning. This we leave for the user, knowing that each woodworker may use a different technique. We try to select tools only in the best condition . Although missing Japanning or paint does not detract from the overall function or use of the tool, we do try to offer planes with greater than 80% of the Japanning remaining. Please refer to the Order Information if you are not familiar with the condition grading system used for our tools.

Not to worry, we will most likely have an identical tool of similar quality. If any of our tools interest you please note its stock number and review our terms , conditions and how to place an order.
