In my shop, there are just 2 spokeshaves. The one in front is by Seymour Smith & Sons....the other...haven't a clue ( hanger hole was done by me) No-Name was having issues, was chattering more than it was cutting....took it apart.. The cutter needed it's back flattened, and the bevel honed. The cap was ROUGH...needed the bevel polished up, the underside flattened to match the iron/cutter....but....the "bed" for the iron to sit on....60 grit sandpaper would be almost smooth....we have ways .. Still a bit more to smooth out. Needle file, run all the way to the back, as the iron sit back there, too iron and cap done, bed cleaned and flat... Take it for a test drive on some White Oak...mmma Nosing profile? So, I can use one of these two.. Until it feels a bit dull, and simply switch over to the other one....always nice to have a back-up..
