I was beginning to think I wasn't on the Woodcentral Hand tool forum or that what I had either wasn't any kind of a shave or that the post couldn't be seen by anyone else but me.

I do love those old spokeshaves

I've never used one of the double-barreled shaves - do you find it a convenient tool?

I do know I need a conical shaped slip stone to hone it & the outside edges need to be honed back a bit they are to long. When the blade is set so the center of it is where it should be the outside edges or protruding quite a bit more than the center.
