Japanese tool expert and merchant Harrelson Stanley spent a month late last fall trekking through the country in his motor home to teach his hand sharpening techniques and hold planing contests for the students. (You can find out more about Japanese tools, planing contests and Harrelson’s sharpening technique at his web site.)
