Frank Byers of Woodcraft wrote a nice blog about their newest addition to the WoodRiver family , the shoulder plane, or as Jerrill states, a tenoning plane, as I always thought it should be called too! Shoulder Plane? You don't trim shoulders with it, you work the tenons, funny right?

WoodRiver Shoulder Plane Review

I have been wondering about this plane. It would be nice to read a review somewhere besides Woodcraft's site. How was the planes finish compared to premium planes? Was the sole perfectly flat? Were the sides square to the sole? Hopefully, a magazine will do an unbiased review. Until then, I will stick with my LN. (Which I use almost exclusively for triming shoulders. Router plane for tenon cheeks= extreme percision)

Nice looking plane. The shoulder plane is one specialty tool I (barely) resist buying. I read a quote from Frank Klausz when asked why he didn't use a shoulder plane. " I cut to the line"

I read that and thought challenge excepted.
