Review of Woodriver #5 V3 Bench Plane

When I was visiting a certain Phoenecian (not Marc, but you might figure it out by looking at the bench I used), I picked up a Woodriver #5 V3 Bench Plane. This first part of the review covers the unboxing and visual inspection of the plane. The second part (yet to be published), will cover how the plane performs.

A couple months ago, while visiting some friends in Arizona, I went to a Woodcraft store and bought a WoodRiver #5 V3 bench plane. While I don’t need any more bench planes, I was curious to see just how good the much-talked-about WoodRiver planes really were. From what I have read, Version 3 (V3) is drastically better than the previous two versions.

The purpose of this article is to show what the V3 plane looked like out of the box.
