Clifton Convex Spokeshave – No.550 [Preowned]

Product Description

Pre-owned – some minor wear and cosmetic markings. G++ condition. A commission sale.

Clifton spokeshaves (UK) are made from virtually unbreakable spheroidal 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.

The concave 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. cabriole legs or for blending in curved surfaces made by machine - such as posts and stair rails.

Length 10'', a weight of 15oz and a curve of 2 1/2'' diameter.

These retail for about £125 new
