Wooden spokeshaves are very functional for all manner of shaping and refining of surfaces. Paul shows how to make a basic wooden spokeshave with minimal fuss using basic tools and materials. He covers making and hardening the blade, basic shaping of the body and recessing the blade for a refined cut.
