Excellent!! Thanks for showing us how you made it too
It surely did come out looking beautiful Toni. Could you describe how you made the mortise for the blade please.
Very nice work Toni. I love spokeshaves and have it in mind to make both the LV kits soon.
With that kit you'll spare yourself making and tapping the holes for the depth controlling screws. It is not difficult, and you have the advantage that you can make a trial one on a not so precious wood until you get the shape you want.
That wood came out wonderful for just a buffing. What was your final grit of sandpaper before buffing?

...I was sitting here looking at Shop Notes 14/84 and it had an article of making a spokeshave. I was thinking that I'd like to make one some day. Great job Toni, very beautiful!
You can make it in one morning, Jim, a day at most if you put a brass pad on it. Overal it does take less time than one would think. I look forward to see yours.
