Description
This is a skin shave used to shave the split Willow rod to the thickness that you need.
The shave has a very sharp knife installed at an angle. You can adjust that angle by changing the hold off on the left hand side of the knife. However this probably would not be necessary as this is what most Weavers use as I have set it up.
This tool has a 3/8 thick work table. It is raised off the wood base that can be clamped to a table. That’s why the workspace is raised, so it will clear any clamps that you use. I highly recommend that this tool be clamped to a table when working with it. Your thumb needs to be protected from the sharp blade by using a leather gloves or a thumb peace cut off a leather glove.
When I ship this to you the work table has been waxed, with a paste wax. I do this for two reasons: one to make it slick and to keep it from resting. I highly recommend that you use a good paste wax on this table, it can be any wax but a good car paste wax will work excellently.
