Uncle John, I am using a spoke shave...freshly sharpened and it works fantastic. leaves a nice, relatively smooth surface, unlike the rasp that really chews the wood up. I can hit it with the spoke shave and follow up with a sharp scraper and it reduces the sanding time to next to nothing.
This is a new Stanley spokeshave. You can find them at the big box stores for about $17.00. Just take the time sharpen it properly and it'll work great.
Good sharp tool. Is that a spoke shave? Seems to work good. Yup, you said spoke shave. I use a rasp and random orbital sander. I may look at spoke shaves. Thanks.
