Tools for Working Wood

Hidden away on an industrial street in Brooklyn but well-known to wood-workers worldwide, Tools for Working Wood is not your ordinary specialty shop. Housed in a warehouse, the front of the space is set up for browsing while the back is a workshop for making many of the house-brand tools, which are designed with excruciating attention to detail and inspired by historic woodworking tools. Holdfasts, spoonmaker’s drawknives, handmade rasps and American-made shellac brushes are for sale here alongside finishing products like traditional milk paint and special waxes and oils.
