Two Cherries 500-2210 Inshave for Rough Shaping

Two Cherries

The curved inshave blade removes material much faster than a spokeshave -- correct for rough shaping seats and concave surfaces before finishing with the spokeshave

  • Two-handle inshave
  • Curved blade for rough shaping
  • Shaving horse use
  • German carbon steel

Pros

  • The curved inshave blade removes material much faster than a spokeshave -- correct for rough shaping seats and concave surfaces before finishing with the spokeshave
  • The two-tool workflow (inshave/drawknife rough, spokeshave finish) is the traditional chair-making process
  • German Two Cherries carbon steel holds an edge well through repeated rough shaping
  • The correct pre-spokeshave tool for green wood chair seat carving

Cons

  • Requires more skill to control than a spokeshave
  • Curved blade is specialized for concave seats -- a straight drawknife is better for legs and spindles
