Anyone know anything about this type of shave? I was thinking about shaping the sole a little to a slight compass shape and using it on chair seats...

>John,
You are right it is a rabbet shave. According to Tom Lamond in his book "Manufactured and Patented Spokeshaves" this class of shave is generally identified as being used by coach and carriage makers. The first patent for this type of shave seems to be May 16, 1911 by Tucholski and Koziczenski.
Stanley's version of this shave is the No. 68, manufactured from 1911 to 1939.
I couldn't find one exactly like yours in the Lamond book so I can't guess who made yours.
Jim

>Hi Jim-
Thanks for the info... I think I'll customize it since no one came out and said not to. It is fairly beefy, should made a good spoon bottom shave...
