Spoke shave

Post by ruby@magpage.com »

If anyone is interested in making a spokeshave, here is the tutorial by the guy who developed the modern wooden shave:

In the early days it was called a guntershave after him, John Gunterman. They are really fun to make and a great way to use up exotic wood scraps. I have 3 that I have made in Boxwood, Purpleheart, and Jatoba.
