Antique & Collectible
Wood & Molding Planes
Woodworking Planes have been known since the times of
the Pharaohs in Egypt and perhaps before. The antique wooden planes
on this page are mostly American or English with a small sampling from
other parts of Europe
and Scandinavia.
The history of American made wooden planes begins in
New England with such famous names as C. Chelor, I.. Nicholson,
I. Jones and a host of other well known, documented, pioneering 18th
century plane makers. There has been a lot of research done on
early American planes and their makers, and those books are still available
and worth a read.
In general wooden planes made after about 1820 or so
are considered "late" and the designation "early" is applied only to
18th century planes or those made prior to that date. Mass production
of wooden planes by tool companies such as Ohio tool, Sandusky tool,
and Auburn Tool Co began after the first quarter of the 19th century
and in the mid 1800's. Their production continued to just after
the turn of the 20th century when makers/ manufacturers either changed
to metal bodied planes or dropped out of the business all together.
In addition to the mega makers of wooden planes, there
are hundreds of smaller plane makers known and documented who were producing
countless numbers of, and different varieties of wooden planes for use
by trades people all over the country. Again the amount
of information available is beyond the scope of this page, but the best
book on the subject which is still in print is the continuation of Pollack's
ground breaking books which have been further improved upon by Thomas
Elliot and are still in publication
 Wooden planes
and wood molding planes can encompass a variety of forms and functions.
From Transitional planes that incorporated wooden bodies and metal
fittings to plow planes and molding planes from earlier
times.
Finding and
keeping rare or early planes by known but obscure makers is a challenge
today, as the sources have all but dried up and the demand is high.
The days of 18th century planes popping up or coming out of a local
garage or barn are for all intent or purposes
are over. Even nice examples of wooden molding planes by later makers and companies
are becoming harder and harder to find. Common profiles,
like individual hollows & rounds, or simple rabbets are still readily
available and can be bought for 10.00 or less at major tool shows or
tool auctions if you have the need.
