Shopmade Spokeshaves
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: James MursellWhen Mursell began teaching Windsor chair-making, he gave his students traditionally shaped spokeshaves with handles. But they tended to hold the handles with their fists and had no fine control over the tool, so Mursell began making these shaves. The lack of conventional handles forced the students to hold the tools with their fingertips close to the blade, giving them greater success. These hard maple spokeshaves, equipped with blades from Hock and Bristol Design, have an oil finish. From Fine Woodworking #202
