History of the Stanley Smooth Wood Plane
Origins of the Wood Plane
The history of the wood plane dates back to ancient times, with early examples found in Roman archaeological sites. These rudimentary tools were crafted from wood and iron, allowing carpenters to shape and smooth wood with precision. However, it was during the 19th century that the wood plane evolved into the more sophisticated designs we recognize today.
