Since the blade came wrapped in oiled paper, the first and most obvious unpleasantry that I noticed upon unboxing my inshave was the handles. Doesn’t look so bad from a distance, does it? Let’s have a closer look… We’ve seen the good, now we’re skipping the bad and diving straight into the ugly. This should be fun.Īlright, the fun is over. Aside from spoons, I don’t often get to use branches in my woodworking. I used the pattern in the book to pick out a mulberry branch that should work perfectly for the handle. The tool even comes with a handy guide filled with information about using the tool, selecting and fitting a handle, patterns, and lots of other helpful information. The maker is rightfully proud of his efforts. The blade is neatly stamped with the maker’s name, as it should be. The non-critical parts of the blade still wear the marks from the forge as a badge of honor. The bevel is ground at the correct angle. For a bargain price, I got an exquisitely shaped and sharpened blade. I could have paid $200 for a complete tool, but I don’t mind making my own handle. I’ll discuss my impressions of each tool, since they represent opposite ends of the spectrum between elation and letdown.

Other times excitement quickly fades to disappointment as soon as the package is opened and reality interrupts. I’ve mentioned previously that I ordered an adze blade from Kestrel Tool as well as a Two Cherries inshave from Amazon for carving Windsor chair seats. Sometimes those tools exceed our highest expectations. I think every woodworker is probably aware of the giddy anticipation of ordering a new tool and finally having it arrive.
