EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a pair of exquisite 19th-century compass and flat-sole rabbet planes. Crafted from boxwood, these traditional tools are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of English carpenters during this era. Measuring at a height of 8.9 cm each, these planes bear the maker's mark of E. Preston & Sons, Birmingham - a renowned name in the world of woodworking. The blades on these planes range from 3/4 to 1 inch with a pitch of 50A, making them versatile for various woodworking tasks. The print captures every intricate detail of these wooden implements - their smooth handles, precise angles, and sharp blades that have undoubtedly shaped countless pieces throughout history. These planes were essential for creating rebates or rabbets - grooves or channels cut into wood surfaces to join pieces together seamlessly. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the artistry behind such functional objects. They serve as reminders that even everyday tools can possess beauty and elegance when crafted with care. Part of the David Russell Collection, this image is an invitation to delve into the rich heritage and techniques employed by Victorian craftsmen. It serves as inspiration for modern-day woodworkers who continue to honor tradition while pushing boundaries in their craft.
