I've been drooling over these for two days now. Shapewise, these are the most elegant spokeshaves I've ever seen. The only thing that I don't like so much is the through rabbet that the blade sits in. I see that routing this all the way through saves some time, but a recess fitted to the blade would look much more refined.
i gave up on getting one. They may as well be a unicorn. He wont even maintain a waiting list and is on vacation most of the time. If I have to wait 6 months for one Ill just find one of the many other very fine spokeshaves available out there.

Thanks for your comment. I never thought of that but I can see your point.

Agreed. You have to get em when they are available. I got lucky; when I was ready he was ready.
