"Kesurokai" in Japanese means "Together planing" and the focus of the Japanese Kesurokai meeting are planing contests. In this case, connect the craftsmen are traded against each other for as long as possible to plane, smooth, paper-thin shavings from a block of wood. This is not only a test of skills with this tool, but also sharpening their skills.
The Japanese craftsmen are very proud of your sharpening art and they invest many hours to keep the tools in perfect condition. This effort is not wasted, as the surface that a well-sharpened plane leaves need not be further processed. You therefore save the time people would spend the next room with the grinding of the surface.
Japanese water stones are famous for its good grinding performance and we use them to raise the many tools we use in our carving courses . Notice, however, are cheaper, synthetic stones, and we were amazed at the difference when Hannes gave us a stone, which he brought from Japan. The removal of this stone is truly remarkable.
