Luban standard flat sole spokeshave plane are in essence very short soled planes for working curved surfaces. Used for refining convex, biconvex, slightly concave and flat surfaces after initial shaping with other hand tools, a bandsaw and rasps. These delightful 265mm flat sole spokeshaves have a 50mm wide t10 cutting iron hardened to rc60-63. Either made from a cast-iron or rust-free bronze body with comfortable bubinga handles. Spokeshaves are lovely tools to use, especially when you are really in the zone as you need to be very aware of the grain to get the best from them. Always work with the grain, on a straight grained piece of timber this means working towards the centre of concave shapes and away from the centre of convex ones.
