Building a Cherry TV Cabinet with Hand Tools
Jay Speetjens builds a TV cabinet from curly cherry, but doesn’t know that you can’t use Japanese planes on hardwoods:
At this point the real fun begins. I sharpened two hira kanna, Japanese smoothing planes, a 55 mm Ishihisa and an old 65 mm kanna that I picked up on eBay. In the first video below you will see me planing both faces of the panels with the 55 mm kanna….
Ideally the grain direction is consistent over the entire surface but this is rarely the case. Figured woods can be particularly deceiving as to the correct planing direction but this material by and large planed quite well.
