Bent-lamination Spokeshave

A spokeshave is the perfect choice for shaping and smoothing curved surfaces, oftentimes finishing the job quicker than a spindle sander. Store-bought spokeshaves can cost $100 or more, though, so we created this porject that uses a sub-$40 hardware kit and lets you build the body from small cutoffs you've been saving.
