Wooden hand planes like this one were widely used by carpenters and woodworkers before the introduction of modern power tools. This design dates back centuries, with similar tools being used in cabinetmaking, joinery, and general woodworking. The plane works by guiding the blade along a wooden surface, removing thin shavings to achieve a smooth, even finish. Over time, these tools were replaced by metal-bodied planes, but wooden planes remained popular due to their lightweight construction and ease of use.The item is a vintage wooden hand plane, a traditional woodworking tool used for shaping and smoothing wood surfaces. It has a rectangular wooden body with a slightly curved top and a centrally positioned metal blade (iron) held in place by a wooden wedge.
