Kezurou-kai #39 (Japanese Woodshavings Competition)

[Alex]

I've come across this blog post on another website I frequent.

Thought you might enjoy it as well, I always find it fascinating when reading about and watching people who are passionate about what they do.

For those who are unfamiliar with kezurou-kai, it’s an event where people compete to take the thinnest shavings of wood using Japanese planes. But more than that it’s really a gathering of people who are passionate about woodworking and carpentry, sharpening and hand tools, who are pushing their skills to the absolute limits of what is possible.
