All Products

For 50 years, we've been building and teaching with tools that we love. From timber framing chisels to Japanese saws, every tool in our shop is one we use and love. Here you'll find hand-forged slicks, premium planers, Maine-made axes, and power tools that we stand behind. You won't find tools that will break after one season—every tool meets our high (and we mean high) standards for quality, durability, and performance.
