What is the plane made of wood?

Planes are not wood, but tools to scrape and smooth wood.

The legend of planer was created by Lu Ban, an ancient craftsman in China. It is a woodworking tool used for planing, polishing, straightening and veneering. Generally, it consists of planer body, planer knife, wedge and other parts.

According to the length, shape and function of the plane, it can be divided into long plane, middle plane, short plane, light plane, curved plane, line plane, groove plane, seat plane and cross plane.

Extended data:

Flat planing machine has been widely used in Roman times. At present, in the Yuan Dynasty shipwreck found in Heze, Shandong Province, a flat-pushing plane with a similar modern style has also been found.

There are many theories about the invention of aircraft, but due to the lack of specific historical basis, it is impossible to prove that the aircraft was introduced from abroad, nor can it be proved that our ancestors invented the aircraft before the Yuan Dynasty. But ancient flat wooden tools existed as early as the Tang Dynasty.

The invention of the planing machine provided technical support for the reform of furniture in China, which was reflected in a series of paintings in ancient China.
