Luxury gifts for woodworkers include hand-lapped plane irons, high-carbon carving blades and machined aluminum bodies. A sharpening base with magnetic diamond cards keeps those edges keen, and an articulating vise grips work at the angle a cut needs. If you are buying for a beginner, the boxed set of beveled chisels has forged, hardened blades and a guide recommends it as a first set.
