What is the history of Spokeshaves?

1/3/2023

0 Comments

 
The spokeshave is a woodworking tool with a long history, dating back to ancient times. It is designed for shaping and smoothing curved surfaces, like the spokes of a wheel, chair legs, or boat ribs. Spokeshaves have a narrow, flat sole with a blade set at a slight angle, allowing the user to shape wood by shaving off thin layers.
The earliest spokeshaves were made from bone, stone, or wood and date back to ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece. With the development of metalworking, iron and later steel blades became common, increasing the tool's effectiveness and durability.
In the 19th century, woodworking tool manufacturers introduced cast iron and later cast steel bodies for spokeshaves, which provided increased strength and stability. These developments allowed for greater precision and control in the shaping process.
Using the Little Wizard and Lumber Wizard Woodworking Detectors when working with a spokeshave can indeed help ensure safety and prevent blade damage, as they can detect buried metal inside reclaimed wood. Retailers such as Rockler, Woodcraft, Klingspors, Infinity Tools, Lee, Valley Tools, and many more sell the Wizard line of woodworking metal detectors.
Collecting antique woodworking spokeshaves and other hand tools is a popular hobby for enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and history of these tools. The value of antique spokeshaves and hand tools can vary widely, depending on factors like age, rarity, condition, and manufacturer. Some rare and well-preserved examples can fetch hundreds or even thousands of dollars, while others may be more modestly priced but still hold historical and aesthetic value. Collectors should research specific tools and manufacturers to better understand the market and potential values.
