A spokeshave is a very nimble plane with a short sole that can follow convex and concave surfaces. A good shave can follow an S-curve and leave a surface that needs little further attention, but it takes practice. Because of its design, the slightest thumb pressure can affect the depth and angle of the cut. In this video, Brian Boggs, chair maker and teacher, demonstrates the technique you’ll need to master the well-tuned shave. Brian will be a featured presenter at Fine Woodworking Live 2019, at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center in Southbridge, Mass., the weekend of April 26-28. Over the weekend, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from many woodworking masters. We’ve put together a full program of classroom instruction and technique demonstrations to help you expand your skills. Sign up now - tickets are going fast.
