Ironbark Tools Spokeshave Flat Medium

A Revolution in Spokeshave Design

Are you looking for a shaping tool that offers historical charm with the precision of modern engineering? The Ironbark Fully Adjustable Spokeshave is the first major advancement in spokeshave design in decades. Taking inspiration from classic bevel-up wooden spokeshaves, this tool is crafted with premium materials to give you an unrivalled woodworking experience. Whether you are shaping custom chair legs or smoothing complex curves in dense Australian timber, this spokeshave delivers incredible control and a flawless finish.

The secret to its performance lies in the unique blade setup and adjustment system. The flat M2 HSS blade sits bevel-down at an exceptionally low 35-degree angle, allowing for a remarkably easy paring action, even on difficult end grain. Two brass knobs lock the blade securely in place, while stainless steel screws let you precisely dial in your depth and tilt. Better yet, the clever design allows you to adjust the thickness of your shaving simply by changing your wrist position. Tilt the tool forward onto its brass toe for a delicate, whisper-thin cut, or relax it back onto the blade bevel to take a heavier shaving.

Key Features

• Solid Brass Construction: The robust brass body holds the M2 HSS blade over a wide 45mm mouth for vibration-free cutting.
• Precision Adjustments: Easily control blade depth, angle, and skew using the stainless steel screws and brass locking knobs.
• Low-Angle Cutting: The 35-degree bevel-down blade configuration provides an incredibly smooth paring action on end grain.
• Wrist-Controlled Shavings: Manipulate the cut thickness seamlessly by simply rolling your wrists forward or backward.
• Fast Blade Maintenance: Remove and replace the blade in seconds for sharpening, with the stainless screws saving your exact depth setting.
• Two Profile Options: Choose the Flat Sole (19mm body with a 9.3mm flat reference) or the Round Sole (16mm body with 10-degree angled handles).
• Customisable Handles: Choose beautifully turned hardwood handles, or purchase the Flat Spokeshave as a kit to craft your own custom handles.
