Makers Cabinet Compact Høvel Base

The Høvel shaves a pencil rather than grinding it, and those shavings have to go somewhere. This turned walnut base gives the plane a home and a shallow chamber beneath it, so the wood collects in one place instead of across your desk.

It is a solid piece of walnut, heavy enough to stay where you put it while you work one-handed. The Høvel drops into the recess and lifts straight back out, so sharpening becomes a two-second job at the desk rather than a trip to the bin. The grain darkens a little with handling, as walnut does.

Trade notes

Doubles as the point-of-purchase piece for the brand — it holds POP material, so a single unit on the counter presents the Høvel and carries the brand messaging at the same time. Worth ordering one for your own counter alongside whatever you take for resale. Beyond that it is the lowest-priced way into the brand and a useful opening line for a hesitant account, and it answers the objection a customer raises the moment they handle the Høvel, so keep the two together.
