• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Hi Chaps

Knocked this up today its a scraper shave in rosewood and maple, it was tricky as my metalworking lathe is blocking the access to my face vice, but with some clamps and a length of ply as a plaining stop I did it.
The blade was cut from an old hardpoint saw.

I think it will need a brass ware plate on the maple block, but it works very well.

Thanks Tony.

No job in particular, I do love spokeshaving stuff so a scraper shave for finishing and difficult wood is a good tool to have.

Rounded base on is next.

Thanks Dave


I did use the flat bottomed scraper on the convex handle curves, the ripple was playing up with my spokeshave but the scraper shave tamed it a treat.

Very nice indeed. That maple looks lovely.

I bought a big block of figured sycamore on a bit of a whim the other day and need to decide what to do with it. I hadn't thought of tools...

Lovely stuff, Pete, as to be expected from you. :eusa-clap:

I do love a scraper shave, because you really need nothing more than wood and a bit of old saw blade and you can make a tool. And once you've made one tool, well... tool making should come with a health warning really!
