Vintage Joh. Weiss & Sohn European Horned Wooden Smoothing Plane
Classic Austrian Craftsmanship | Solid Hardwood Body & Original Cutter
Woodworkers worldwide respect Joh. Weiss & Sohn for building exceptional wooden hand planes. This Viennese maker has crafted traditional tools since 1820.
This classic horned plane features a solid European Beech (or Hornbeam) body with hand rest for comfort. Consequently, the heavy 1 kg plane feels substantial, but stable in your hands.
Key Features:
Historic Austrian Maker: Made in Austria by one of Europe’s oldest and most respected toolmakers.
Classic Horned Design: Features the traditional front horn handle (Hörnchen). Excellent control and comfort while pushing through stock.
Original Iron and Wedge: Comes complete with its factory-matched thin parallel cutter and matching wooden wedge.
Tight Smoothing Mouth: Set up as a dedicated smoothing plane. Specifically, the mouth opening remains too tight for heavy scrub work.
Solid Hardwood Stock: Built from dense European hardwood to absorb vibration and glide smoothly across timber.
Condition Note:
We left this plane in its original, uncleaned condition. Presently, a layer of protective paste wax covers the iron and the wood hasn’t been cleaned. A little time will have this looking beautiful again.
This solid Austrian plane from a highly respected maker offers a fantastic, practical user tool for anyone enjoying traditional European wooden hand planes.
