A Sharpening Handbook

Product Description

by Richard D. Wile

There are many books available on sharpening, however as Richard Wile points out, “sharpening has evolved.” He has directed his book towards the novice to intermediate sharpener, with the aim of enhancing their experience with advice on guides, new and traditional media, and techniques.

Techniques cover the primary hand tools in most woodworkers’ workshops – plane irons, chisels, carving tools and scrapers. He emphasises manual methods, suitable for all but the most advanced users. Richard's detailed descriptions of the newer sharpening media will enable the beginner sharpener to acquire an effective selection at minimum expense, while defining the eventual requirements for advanced sharpening.

The book has a Smyth-sewn softcover, size is 6" × 9", with 104 pages, and published in 2021.
