Red Oak Hand Plane – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Offering

In Japan, red oak is a material of quiet reverence—rarely seen, scarcely available, and almost never used in contemporary hand plane production. This particular piece, crafted with a base of genuine red oak aged over decades, is not just a tool but a testament to enduring craftsmanship.

We are honored to offer this hand plane as a limited, in-stock item. Once sold, it will not return. The red oak used here is no longer in circulation, making this a truly final opportunity to own a piece of woodworking heritage.

Whether you're a collector, a craftsman, or someone who values the quiet beauty of well-made tools, this hand plane speaks to a deeper tradition—one that won’t be repeated.

■Note:
After use, be sure to return the blade to the base and store in a safe place.
The plane body is semi-finished. When first using, please adjust the blade by backing it with a metal plate.
The plane base is also designed to be used immediately, but fine adjustments will be necessary, so please understand this before purchasing.
If you would like to use it completely immediately, please contact us and we will provide you with a separate quote.

We also offer a selection of Western-style hand plane blades.
