Northeastern Woodworkers Association

A sharp hand plane iron is the key to creating smooth, beautiful surfaces with less effort. Whether you’re an experienced woodworker or just getting started, this welcoming class will help you build a practical skill every hand-tool user needs.

In this hands-on class, instructor Dave Parkis will introduce a variety of sharpening media and honing-guide methods. You’ll then put those techniques into practice and develop the confidence to sharpen your own plane irons effectively.

Please note: Bring a plane iron that needs sharpening but is not damaged. This class focuses on building sharpening skills rather than restoring or repairing damaged blades.
