The block plane is essentially a blade in a  wooden jig to keep it stabilized.  Japanese planes use wooden blocks because they fit to the wooden piece being finished without resistance, no harsh metals on wood.  With a piece finely planed, we can see ourselves as if in a mirror, creating a perfect face for aging beautifully.  At Somacousha we order our planes direct from blacksmiths that we know and trust, cut our own blocks, and pride ourselves on beautiful finishes.
