Small Batch Production 

Produced in batches of about 10 at a time, each tool is made by hand by Ben Adams in his Sunshine Coast workshop. From plate steel, the blades are forged, ground and heat treated in house then the wooden bodies are made individually to match each blade. Meaning, when you buy a travisher, you are getting a genuine handmade item.

How to Order:

To order one of these premium quality tools for yourself, click the button below or click the "Travisher" tab so browse the other available travisher models. Prices vary depending on wood species and sole material

Lead Time:

Because I’m a furniture maker myself, these tools are made in small batches between projects. That means lead times may vary from 3 to 9 months, but each travisher arrives sharp, tuned, and ready to use.
