How to Choose and Use Bench Planes & Scrapers
Woodworkers can achieve a superior surface finish by planing instead of sanding, as planing slices across wood cells exposing voids that accept finish deeply, while sanding crushes cell walls and fills those voids with dust, resulting in a less translucent surface.
- Planing a board slices across cells, exposing a multitude of voids for finish absorption.
- Sanding fills those cell voids with dust from crushed cell walls, reducing finish penetration.
- A planed surface has a deep, rich, translucent quality that is missing in a sanded surface.
- This book teaches how to choose and use bench planes and scrapers for woodworking.
