Catalog
Clark & Williams, at this time, offers no printed catalog. We're constantly refining the historic and sometimes small details on our planes. These refinements often improve either aesthetics or performance of the tools. We feel that a catalog is too static a medium for hand-made items produced one at a time, would discourage custom orders and limit our improvements or changes aimed at historical accuracy.
A note of Caution: Our planes are single-iron planes. As such there is nothing but a firmly set wedge to keep these irons from falling through the mouth of the plane. Please read and follow the instructions included with the plane.

Smooth Plane
This single-iron plane is available with a 2" or a 2 1/4" iron. Made from traditional beech, carefully selected from seasoned quarter-sawn stock. These planes are approximately 7 3/4" long. Usually a dedicated finishing plane with a very tight mouth. This is the plane that built the Clark & Williams reputation for quality and performance.
2 1/4" - $325.00
2" - $305.00

Small Smooth Plane
Precision work on smaller pieces often requires a smaller plane. At only about 6 1/4" long with a 1 5/8" wide iron, this plane is available for just those times. It is of the same quality construction and also has an very tight mouth. Also available, at the same price ,is an even smaller smooth plane with a 1 1/4" iron and about 5" long.

Jack Plane
This reproduction of an 18th Century style plane is intended for roughing or scrubbing work and comes with a cambered single iron. This is a narrow plane with a 1 3/4" wide iron and is approximately 14" to 15" long depending on the material available. Also made from select beech the off-set open tote is now of classic 18th Century British style and requires that these planes be made in both left and right hand versions. About as much fun to use as a plane can be.

Fore and Trying Planes
These beech planes look similar but have different purposes. The fore plane is a roughing plane with a 2 1/2" cambered iron and bigger mouth opening. Great for rapidly removing large amounts of wood during initial flattening of larger stock. Normally our fore planes are approximately 20" long. The trying plane is generally a little longer at about 22" and has a straight 2 1/2" iron. The trying plane has a tighter mouth and is intended for finish cuts and can be used as a jointer for shorter stock.
Fore Plane: $365.00
Trying Plane: $385.00

Jointer
The Clark & Williams jointer planes are long planes for accurately truing and jointing long stock. They're generally 28" to 30" long depending on the beech plane billet available at the time it's made. With a 2 1/2" iron, these are hefty planes that will easily improve a woodworker's ability to make invisible edge joints. (shown with a 10" long moving fillister to give a feeling for the scale of the plane)

Panel Raising & Fielding Plane
This plane shouldn't be confused with the normal panel raising plane. They're generally made a little larger than a jack plane and profiles the perimeter of the field. Hence a nicker will not function properly. Usually made with an open 18th Century style tote. Price varies with features. e-mail or call for a quote based on your needs. Prices start at about

Hollows and Rounds
These amazing planes will open a whole world of molding possibilities to the woodworker. Escape the rectilinear designs of cookie-cutter woodworking! Original sets are hard to come by and it's very rare to find a set where at least a couple of the planes don't have fatal flaws for a user. Old sets are wonderful on a collector's shelf but ours are functional and a joy to use. Half sets of 18 beech planes can be made for

Custom Planes
Clark & Williams planes are produced one-at-a-time. For that reason, custom planes or even changes from those listed are possible. It would be difficult to list all the possible bench and molding planes but many can be provided by Clark & Williams.
