Imagine a drawknife and a spokeshave merged. That’s the monster shave. So named after the beloved spokeshave of chairmaker Peter Galbert. His “monster shave” was the inspiration for this model.

This shave took me about 2 years of development as most of my tools usually do. After a 5 year production hiatus it’s back and better than ever.

It has some unique features such as a bevel down blade which means the cutting edge in relation to the sole will stay constant throughout the life of the tool. The bevel down blade will allow you to carve outside and inside curves (down to 8” radius) as well as flat surfaces. The large mass of the body and thick blade make heavy stock removal possible. Much like a drawknife but with the control of a spokeshave.

Just like my other spokeshaves, the depth of cut is controlled by the orientation of the tool to the surface of the wood. This allows you to take light or heavy cuts all with the same blade setting. The shave comes set up and sharp ready to use. This wooden shave also has a brass insert in the sole to limit wear and extend its usable life.
