What is a "spokeshave"?
A spokeshave is a hand tool used for shaping and smoothing wood, especially curved or rounded surfaces. It has a blade set between two handles, and the user pushes or pulls the tool along the wood to shave off thin layers. Spokeshaves are commonly used in woodworking for tasks like shaping wheel spokes, curved furniture parts, or other detailed wooden objects. They come in different types, including flat, curved, or concave blades, allowing for different shaping effects. The tool is prized for providing fine control over the shape and smoothness of the wood.
