Clifton Convex & Concave Spokeshaves [Pre-owned]

Product Description

Used but still plenty of shaping left in these 2 Sheffield made beauties.

Clifton spokeshaves are made from virtually unbreakable spheridal graphite/malleable iron; the surfaces are finished and polished to give maximum comfort in the hand; the weight and balance permits the spokeshave to sit firmly on the wood so that only a stroking action is required to make them cut. The firm seating and fine adjustment allow the woodworker to make delicate nuances in the weight of cut.

You are buying pre-owned Concave (550) & Convex (500) versions. 

The convex spokeshave is the counterpart to the concave model and is essential for recessed work. The concaves spokeshave may be used instead of a draw knife to chamfer square timber, but is more often used as a delicate tool by furniture makers to shape on curves e.g. carbriole legs or for blending in cuved surfaces made by machine - such as posts and stair rails.

Both spokeshaves have a length of 10'', a weight of 15oz and a curve of 2 1/2'' diameter.
