  • I got the concave and convex ones off eBay. They seem to be good quality but I haven’t used them much. They were about 1/4 of the price of store bought ones. I guess the ability to hold a sharp edge will tell if I got a good deal.

  • They need to be really sharp.

  • I think they come in a few different styles. This one is flat face and a straight blade. I think some have a blade with a curved edge, concave , and some have a curved, convex face for making concave cuts, like a hollow in a chair seat. There are also combination ones that have two kinds in one. This is the only one I have ever used.

  • I have both, the curved blade works great !

  • Not sure looking the picture but is the blade straight or slightly concaved? I've meant to pick one up but not sure which would be best. Seems like a concaved one would be best for shaping necks. 

  • Nice and smoooooth, great job with the shaver B.H.! You have a lot of tinder to build a campfire now :-)

  • Got to get me a nice spoke shave, they're handy for removing material. that and a scraper.

  • Old School....use mine on every neck i ever made.

  • My favourite pastime! (-:

  • That's a beautifully rounded neck. I've been looking into getting a spokeshave - what kind do you recommend?
