[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
Spoke shaves were used for a variety of purposes - by wheelwrights for shaving the spokes of wagon wheels, by carpenters for smoothing tool handles and by coopers for finishing off barrel staves. This small wooden shave with a steel blade was used by the donor, a joiner in Brougton-in-Furness, Cumbria, some time between 1860 and 1960, for shaping and smoothing chair seats.
