Boggs Concave Spokeshave

A collaboration between Master Chair Maker Brian Boggs and Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. A 2-5/8″ diameter sole makes the Boggs Concave Spokeshave the right choice for working chair spindles and other round parts.

Body is 9-5/8″ long.
A2 blade is 1-1/8″ wide x 1/8″ thick.
Bronze body and cap.
Hickory handles.
Weight is 8 oz.

Materials:

Manganese Bronze body and cap, Brass thumbscrew. Heartwood Hickory handles.

The blade is A2 Tool Steel hardened to Rockwell 60-62, cryogenically treated and double tempered. Our heat-treating technique ensures that the blade will take and hold a very fine edge for a long time. After heat-treating, the blade is fully surface ground on the top, back, and cutting edge, giving a smooth, flat surface that will take a mirror finish very quickly.

Maintenance:

Polish the bronze parts with any good brass polish or enjoy the patina that develops with age and use. The blade should be kept lightly oiled to prevent rust, especially when the tool is not in use. We recommend Jojoba Oil, a plant based oil product that is non-toxic, odor-free and easy to use. Also, in our shop, we use a fine abrasive handblock to remove any light surface oxide from tool bodies and blades. Jojoba Oil and abrasive handblocks are available from us.

Guarantee:
