- Summary
Chinese furniture-makers used different tools to those used by others. They worked with smoothing planes of varying lengths and that were remarkably low-slung, with a characteristic cross-handle behind the iron. A variety of other planes can also be found which perform functions such as rebating, grooving, chamfering and bevelling.
