Small Bronze Spokeshave – Curved

This Spokeshave is based on a tool that hasn’t been available since Edward Preston and Sons went out of business in the 1930’s. Lightweight but solid. Redesigned for fine, precise shaping work in all woods. Available with a flat or curved sole (1-1/2″ radius).

6-3/4″ long, with a 5/8″ wide sole
1-3/8″ wide x 1/8″ thick A2 blade
Bronze body and cap
Weight is .4 lbs.

Materials:

Manganese Bronze Body and Cap, Brass Thumbscrew. A2 tool steel blade 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.
