Winding Sticks

Winding sticks are used to check that a surface is flat and free from twist (or "wind"). Being able to plane surfaces flat and free of wind will take your woodworking to higher levels of precision, with projects that fit together perfectly instead of needing huge amounts of clamping pressure to pull them into "square".

Our Winding Sticks are made from quartersawn Paduak, a dense and stable timber. They are hand planed into perfectly matched pairs and are inlayed with brass center marks. A maple insert is fitted to one of the stick to make it easier to read the amount of wind. They are hand finished with blonde shellac and come with an instruction sheet on their proper use.

Price £40 a pair.
