Traditional woodworking tools & molding planes
Our objective at Red Rose Reproductions is the recreation of historic woodworking hand tools, with an emphasis on side escapement molding and specialty planes. Other tools we produce include winding sticks, bench hooks, and various wooden vises. We offer wooden vise screws from Acer-Ferrous Toolworks, along with the sector proportioning tool. More recent additions include dividers, floats, and inlay tools along with several other specialty offerings. For the plane maker, we stock quarter sawn beech billets, tapered irons for both molding and bench planes, and full-scale molding plane plans. Also, classes for making a pair of hollow and rounds are offered several times a year.

Reproduction cedar spice box with stringing inlay. This is an unusual choice of wood for a piece that has holly stringing. The top, bottom, and sides have been fit together with dovetail joints before any of the stringing was done. I have just begun the stringing and had to use the long beam in the straight line to cut in the “stem” of the flowers. Always rewarding to use the tools I manufacture and sell. In this case, it’s the Latta inlay tools. These are available on my website now.

Watch for this new carvers mallet, designed at the request of @marymaywoodcarving, at @handworksevent Sept 4&5. Shown is the prototype with its fourth version of a handle. Brass with a black walnut handle. Weight is just over one pound. Price tbd, but should be around $125. I expect to have the first batch for sale at the show.
