Concave Spokeshave

Concave Spokeshave
Ref: 701959

The concave spokeshave is our latest addition to the family. Concave spokeshaves are popular with chair and paddle makers for good reason. When shaping parts, adjacent cuts blend together much more smoothly than with a flat-soled tool. In practical terms, this translates into less time spent scraping and sanding. With a blade bed angle of 45° and sole radius of 1-5/16", this shave is well suited for a wide range of jobs from small spindles to large oars.

All three spokeshaves have a 1/8" (0.125") thick A2 tool steel blade, seated at 45° to the sole. The thick blade, carefully machined lever cap and blade bed all combine to produce chatterfree cutting in virtually all conditions. The ductile cast iron body is fitted with African rosewood handles that are 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. Together with the cast steel lever cap, the thumb wheels also ensure the blade may be easily removed for sharpening and other maintenance, then re-installed into the same position. Two shims are included so that you can adjust the mouth opening to suit your work needs.

Each weighs about 12 oz. 10-1/2" long overall.

Spokeshaves are basic shop tools, admired for their versatility. In designing these spokeshaves, we further increased their traditional versatility in several ways.

The A2 tool steel blades, although adding quite a bit to the cost, stay sharp about five times as long as carbon steel and, at 1/8" thick, eliminate chatter caused by blade flex. The twin blade-adjust screws fit snugly in the blade recesses with minimal lost motion, and let you skew the blade so that one end takes a heavier cut than the other, something the pros like. The controlled skewing action can also compensate for off-square sharpening, something the amateurs like.

These spokeshaves have a 45° bed angle and come with shims so that you can adjust the mouth opening to suit your work needs. The sole of the round shave has a 1.75" radius. Both have sculpted thumb rests on the body front and back so the grip is comfortable whether you are pushing or pulling the shave. Finally, they have rosewood handles, comfortable in the hands and pleasing to the eye.

Like the other planes, these spokeshaves have ductile cast iron bodies with brass fittings. Each weighs about 12 oz. 10-1/2" long overall. Available with a round or flat bottom.
