Fine 8½” Delicate Solid Boxwood Spokeshave – Marked Sheffield – 2″ Cutting Iron

A graceful and finely crafted boxwood spokeshave, measuring 8½” in length, with a 2″ wide cutting iron and markings indicating Sheffield origin—a hallmark of quality in edge tools. The maker’s name is faint but present, suggesting a respected Sheffield craftsman, possibly one of the lesser-known but high-quality producers from the late 19th to early 20th century.

🔹 Features & Highlights

• Solid boxwood body, delicately shaped for fine control and balance
• 2″  iron, clean and sharp.
• Faint maker’s stamp, partially legible—possibly Marples, Sorby, or another Sheffield artisan
• Elegant proportions, ideal for chairmaking, violin work, or other fine shaping tasks

🔹 Condition
Excellent overall. The boxwood has aged beautifully with a warm honey tone. Iron is sharp and ready for use. No cracks or repairs. Maker’s mark is faint but visible under angled light.
