Description

A great rosewood Conover spokeshave from Mentor, Ohio, fitted with a 2 3/4″ cutting edge—a clean, well‑made example from one of the more interesting small makers of the late 20th‑century hand‑tool revival.

This shave has that unmistakable Conover feel: warm, dense rosewood, a comfortable grip, and a cutter bedded at just the right angle for controlled, predictable work. The 2 3/4″ iron gives it a generous bite without feeling oversized, making it equally at home on chair parts, curved work, and general shaping. Conover’s rosewood tools were never made in large numbers, and good examples surface far less often than their planes or lathes.

A handsome, functional spokeshave with strong regional appeal and excellent wood selection.
