Ashem Crafts was a 2 person business hand building tools for the chair making industry, especially Windsor and Shaker styles. In 2018 they had to close the shop down due to health reasons. Their net sales for a year was around 400,000. They had 9 different products that they were selling. There is a couple of videos on Youtube if you want to see what these can really do. This is a great chance to have a little bit of usable history.What is a rounding plane?
