WoodRiver® has added the small but mighty Apron Plane to its
block plane lineup. It is the only Apron Plane on the market
constructed of durable stainless steel investment cast, and despite
its superior craftsmanship, it is priced the same as the
competition.
PARKERSBURG, W.Va., July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WoodRiver® is elevating
the standard in the world of block planes with the introduction of
its new Apron Plane. As the only product of its kind with a body
constructed of durable stainless steel investment cast, the
WoodRiver Apron Plane is ruggedly durable and delivers precision
smoothing.
"When you look at the craftsmanship and the
precision results it delivers, you know it's more than just a tool.
It's a legacy item. A finely machined instrument." —Joe Young,
Director of Product Design and Development at Woodcraft
THE GO-TO FINISHING TOOL
A proprietary brand of Woodcraft, WoodRiver is reputed for its
high-quality yet affordable woodworking tools. The small but mighty
apron plane is the newest member of its hand tool collection. While
not as commonly found on workbenches as its sister block planes,
the standard and low angles, Joe
Young, Director of Product Design and Development at
Woodcraft, described the Apron Plane as the ultimate tool for light
trimming, easing corners and chamfering/breaking sharp edges. He
assures users it will become a favorite go-to finishing tool.
"It's the handiest plane you'll ever own," he confidently
declared.
DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT
Further distinguishing WoodRiver's Apron Plane from the competition
is its overall value. This is a feature that separates all
Woodcraft brands, WoodRiver, Highpoint and Pinnacle, from other
manufacturers.
Precision crafted with the finest quality material, WoodRiver
offers its Apron Plane for the same price as its competitors'
planes, which are built from inferior, corrosive substances like
bronze and brass.
Young emphasized that the use of stainless steel investment cast
makes the WoodRiver Apron Plane a superior tool that will outwork
and outlast anything else on the market. "When you look at the
craftsmanship and the precision results it delivers, you know it's
more than just a tool. It's a legacy item. A finely machined
instrument."
Further adding, "Quality and value are why our customers know
they can rely on Woodcraft products. They are paramount to why the
company has, for nearly 100 years, successfully maintained its
reputation as the premier resource for woodworkers."
SMALL BUT MIGHTY
Lightweight and compact, an apron plane is named for its ability to
be easily tucked into an apron pocket. Its small size also makes it
easy to maneuver and use with just one hand. "Its short sole makes
it the ideal tool for detail work where larger and heavier planes
would be too bulky, like chamfering an edge, planing end grain or
working in tight spaces," Young explained.
Another notable aspect of the WoodRiver Apron Plane that
differentiates it from similar products currently on the market is
its flat side. Young added that this feature makes the plane
well-suited to use on a shooting board, especially for fine detail
work like that associated with Kumiko, a complex Japanese technique
of assembling small wooden pieces without the use of nails.

The WoodRiver Apron Plane is available now, just in time for
