Résumé

Long-awaited, Four Centuries of Dutch Planes and Planemakers is finally available here in a Dutch and English dual language version. Its rich harvest of information, the result of more than 15 years of painstaking research, covers every aspect of Dutch woodworking planes and their makers. Included are chapters on the development of the planemaking trade, the nomenclature of Dutch woodworking planes, descriptions and illustrations of all known types of Dutch planes, studies of the prominent planemaking dynasties (especially in Amsterdam and Rotterdam), indexes of planemakers and plane-iron makers' marks, and much more. Fully illustrated, this thoroughly researched, comprehensive study is the first to be undertaken on the planes and planemakers of the Netherlands. It will certainly gain a valued space on the tool collector's bookshelf next to British Planemakers and Guide to the Makers of American Wooden Planes.
