Extended Kanna Class
Learn to sharpen, prepare and use the Japanese hand plane. This class will teach proper setup and use of Japanese hand planes, explaining how to prepare and sharpen the blade, dai body and sub blade. Users are encouraged to bring a new plane. Classes require a 6 hour block of working time and 1.5hrs for lunch. Bring your own lunch.
Class starts at 10am and runs until 5:30pm.
This class is extended beyond the timeframe of the standard Kanna prep class to allow students greater sharpening time and to cover the material in greater detail.
The instructor provides many tools for the students to use but it is recommended to bring a quality straight edge and 400 grit sharpening stone.
