Looks great. Even with the pencil lines I would be agonising over every stroke, wondering if I am taking too much off and if it is even. What is the wood? Is it Elm or something?
Caleb, finding a decent scorp is near impossible for me (via internet because I can’t drive do to a traumatic brain injury). I’ve tried a few from blacksmiths in Europe, but all are too thin. Is the Ray Isles a decent starting point? I figure I could use it to make all the mistakes I need to while getting to a functional understanding of bevel shape, dubbing, honing, etc… thoughts? And or, where could I find a decent working tool without playing eBay roulette? My travisher is from James Mursell and that has been and is worth every penny; is there someone doing that with scorps? Thanks you for the videos!
thanks for the demo without all the normal bull crap.
Heya Caleb...is that a spokeshave that you used just after the draw knife? super awesome work btw... better than using power tools.
great job!
What tools were you using after the adze and draw knife?

Looks great! How many time did you spend on making it?
