A traditional spokeshave, but uniquely my own. It looks and performs just like a truly traditional spokeshave would. The depth of cut is controlled intuitively on the fly entirely by rocking the tool either forward or backwards. This shave is a shaping machine that you'll come to love picking up.

This wooden bodied shave has a sole that is inserted with a brass wear strip. This dramatically increases the life of the tool yet leaves it feeling light and responsive which gives great cutting feedback in use.

These are native American woods (typically cut and dried by me) like pear, apple, and persimmon. I also use exotics such as rosewoods, ebonys and boxwood when available.

See video below for a demonstration of the difference between a traditional spokeshave and a modern one.


Here's what Peter Galbert has to say about the spokeshave: https://www.instagram.com/p/BAsMBTdmpEU/?taken-by=petergalbert

Curved sole works inside curves as well.
