Lie-Nielsen - Boggs Spokeshave
This standard-angle, Lie-Nielsen spokeshave was designed by chair maker Brian Boggs and features a 2-in., A2 steel cutting edge
Jul 01, 2006
The Lie-Nielsen is a top-notch shave designed by renowned chair maker Brian Boggs. The bed and sole of the tool were milled precisely, and with a bed angle of 40° (the lowest of the standard-angle shaves), the tool requires less energy to use and makes end-grain work easier. Blade-depth adjustments are easy to make by tapping the blade with a hammer. The mouth is quite narrow, which limits the shave to moderate to light cuts, but the tool renders an exceptional, tear-free finish, with no chatter. Overall, the Lie-Nielsen shave has a distinctly sure and solid feel.
