In “Wooden Plow Planes”, author and collector Don Rosebrook discusses almost 275 years of planemaking, providing commentary on the evolution of the plow plane from its origins to the ultimate symbol of the tool as art. Approximately 200 beautifully photographed planes show the extraordinarily high level of craftsmanship involved.
Rosebrook provides full descriptions of all of the planes contained in the book. Numerous one-of-a-kind examples are also highlighted and displayed. This book serves as an excellent reference source for collectors and dealers, as well as industrial historians. It features, among other things: Galleries of nuts and shoulder moldings for identification purposes; Special sections on the Greenfield Tool Company, the Ohio Tool Company and planemaking at the New York Auburn Prison.
For those interested in tool collecting or restoration, in industrial history, or for those who simply appreciate craftsmanship, innovation and beautiful design, this visual tour through a slice of American history will provide both invaluable information and immense satisfaction.
