You are reading the forum of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers — people who build and study American period furniture.

Membership brings the whole forum, the annual journal and quarterly magazine, the members’ gallery and workbench, and chapters across the country. About membership

Found a place in Kyoto that had a nice selection of professional woodworking tools - chisels, planes, carving tools and stones (synthetic and natural).  Decent selection of both aogami (blue steel) and shirogami (white steel) chisels.  Prices varied but definitely not bargain basement.  Also found some small knife shops in Kyoto that made their own edge tools - mostly knives for food prep - some of these also carried a few hand made chisels. See attached photo of chisels and planes.
