A two-handled cabinet scraper can sometimes be mistaken for a spokeshave. A spokeshave has a similar, two-handled body; however, the blade is thinner and set at an angle in the opposite direction to a two-handled cabinet scraper.
Spokeshaves are commonly used for creating and smoothing a shape such as chair legs, wheel spokes, bows and canoe paddles. Two-handled scrapers come with straight blades and are used for putting a smooth finish on wood, or taking off an old coat of paint or varnish. |
