Designed with Peter Sefton

Each Verum plane is created in collaboration with Wood Workers Workshop’s owner, Peter Sefton — a master craftsman and woodworking educator. His hands-on experience has influenced every design choice, from the bedding angle and blade geometry to the ergonomics of the cap and body. The result is a block plane that feels like a natural extension of your hand, offering control and accuracy in every stroke.
