Zen-Wu Chinese Planes

A Chinese-style hand plane, pushed across the work on a horizontal grip. Can be used one- or two-handed depending on the cut. Versatile enough to serve as a first plane or a primary plane for most woodwork.

Currently available in one size: 13-3/4" (350mm) sole, 2" (50mm) wide blade.

The body is old-growth red bamboo-leaf oak (often called Japanese red oak in English), a dense, stable hardwood that holds a flat sole over long sessions. Titanium hardware throughout. The blade is ZW-V0 steel, laminated into soft iron for vibration damping and ease of sharpening.
