A block plane is used to surface a small piece of wood in order to give it a smooth and finished look. The plane removes small shavings of wood to make a flat surface on the wood.

First make sure you have a sharp plane iron. If not sharpen it or get a sharp one. Set the plane iron so that a 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch of the plane iron is sticking out of the sole. Using two hands hold the plane and using firm even pressure push it smoothly along the surface you want to plane making sure to hold it flat.
