Woodworking Sharpening

In woodworking, the line between frustration and satisfaction often comes down to how sharp your edges are—dull tools tear grain, require excessive force, and produce poor results. These sharpening tools keep your chisels, planes, and gouges performing at their peak, from whetstones that restore mirror finishes to honing guides that ensure consistent bevels every time. Whether you're touching up a plane iron mid-project or completely rehabilitating a vintage chisel, these tools have been keeping woodworking edges razor-sharp for generations.

The Shelter Institutes Shelter Sharpening Kit includes the Veritas MKII Honing Guide, angle guide, glass plate, sanding block, compound jar, and textured cloth—ideal for all your woodworking needs.
