This large spokeshave is ideally suited for shaping large, gently curved projects such as buckets, barrels, coopered doors, masts and paddle blades. The thick blade, carefully machined lever cap and blade bed all combine to produce chatter free cutting in virtually all conditions. The 3.2mm (0.125") thick blade (A2 tool steel) is seated at 45° to the sole. The ductile cast iron body is fitted with African rosewood handles, shaped for comfort and control, offering several ways to grip the tool comfortably with no corners or edges to cause discomfort when either pulling or pushing. The toe provides a convenient thumb rest that allows the user to choke up on the body to achieve an unusual degree of control for fine work. The twin adjustment thumb wheels quickly and accurately control the depth of cut and skew. Overall length 470mm, blade width 65mm, weight 600g
