Expertise

Gaignard Millon

Expertise forged through workshop experience: we compare, measure, and test each item on various types of wood. Selection guided by cut, ergonomics, and durability. A standard confirmed by professionals: École Boulle, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay. As enthusiasts, we select only the best tools.

Workshop check & sharpening ready to use

Every tool passes through our hands before shipping: visual inspection, geometry, flatness, and deburring. If necessary, we sharpen it on a Tormek system for a consistent angle, and a clean, durable edge. The result: a tool that cuts cleanly right out of the box, with no time wasted at the workbench. Tested on wood, wiped down, protected, you receive a tool ready to work.

1% for the Children of the Woods

Gaignard-Millon donates 1% of the VAT-inclusive price of each order to associations that introduce children to woodworking and support reintegration through manual trades (e.g., L’Outil en Main, apprenticeship workshops). Each purchase becomes an act of transmission. A simple gesture to pass on expertise and nurture the next generation of artisans.
