I do not have any experience with spokeshaves, and have looked them up on the web. There are many different types. Pictures are shown and each is described, with the various parts named and so forth. However, I have not found an explanation of why one is better at a particular job than another. There are round soles and flat soles. Convex and concave and combination. Flat handles and curved handles. Perhaps some work best with green wood and some with seasoned. Does anyone know a reference or web site (or has personal knowledge) that explains what particular job each particular spokeshave is designed for?
Thank you,
John Hiner
