Mastering Curves with Classic Precision and Control

The Stanley 12-951 Flat Base Spoke Shave is an essential hand tool for woodworkers dedicated to the art of shaping and smoothing curved surfaces. While its name harkens back to the days of wheelwrights crafting wagon spokes, this tool is now a staple for furniture makers, particularly those crafting chairs, paddles, and bows. The flat base design is specifically engineered for working on flat and convex (outward curving) surfaces, allowing you to round over sharp edges or shape complex profiles on chair legs and seats with a level of control that power tools simply cannot match. Constructed with a durable cast iron body and epoxy coating, this tool provides the weight and stability needed for chatter-free cutting.

Precision is at your fingertips with fully adjustable cutters that allow you to fine-tune the depth of cut and the thickness of your shavings. Whether you are removing heavy stock to establish a shape or taking wispy, transparent shavings for a final finish, the double-handle design offers superior leverage and maneuverability. The tool utilizes a sharp 2-1/8 inch carbon steel blade that can be easily replaced or honed to a razor edge. When the project is finished, the included vinyl pouch ensures your spokeshave remains protected in your toolbox, ready for the next masterpiece.

Key Features

  • Flat Base Design: Perfectly suited for smoothing flat surfaces and shaping convex curves like spindles and oars.
  • Adjustable Performance: Features manual adjustment screws to control blade depth and shaving thickness for roughing or finishing.
  • Durable Construction: Heavy-duty cast iron body provides stability and long-lasting durability.
  • High-Carbon Blade: Comes equipped with a sharp 2-1/8 inch cutter that holds an edge and is fully replaceable.
  • Protective Storage: Includes a vinyl carrying pouch to protect the sole and cutting edge when not in use.
  • Ergonomic Control: Twin handles allow for a two-handed grip, maximizing control over the cutting angle and pressure.
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for chair making, instrument crafting, and general woodworking contouring.

Pro-Tip: To achieve the smoothest finish on difficult grain or end grain, try "skewing" the spokeshave. Instead of pushing it straight forward, hold the tool at a slight diagonal angle to the direction of the cut. This effectively lowers the cutting angle and slices through the wood fibers like a guillotine, significantly reducing chatter and tear-out.

Great investment, and easy to assemble.
Color: Grey
Excellent dividers for the home. I purchased this set 3 years ago and recently had to place another order because the first order proved to be a perfect accessory in my basement apartment. As previously mentioned, I am in a basement apartment, and with these dividers, I can take an open space and create compartments. After a while, you forget that that open space was once a single room. These options added a great deal to my "Fonshuay," and lifestyle. This is a great investment and it was easy to assemble.

Very nice quality and appearance
Color: Beige
They were surprisingly stout and went together well. We had to return them because when we took them to where they would be used, they were too big to work in that location. Dang. But if we needed them in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them.
