Mastering Curves with Classic Precision and Control

The Stanley 12-951 Flat Base Spoke Shave is an essential hand tool for woodworkers dedicated to the art of shaping and smoothing curved surfaces. While its name harkens back to the days of wheelwrights crafting wagon spokes, this tool is now a staple for furniture makers, particularly those crafting chairs, paddles, and bows. The flat base design is specifically engineered for working on flat and convex (outward curving) surfaces, allowing you to round over sharp edges or shape complex profiles on chair legs and seats with a level of control that power tools simply cannot match. Constructed with a durable cast iron body and epoxy coating, this tool provides the weight and stability needed for chatter-free cutting.

Precision is at your fingertips with fully adjustable cutters that allow you to fine-tune the depth of cut and the thickness of your shavings. Whether you are removing heavy stock to establish a shape or taking wispy, transparent shavings for a final finish, the double-handle design offers superior leverage and maneuverability. The tool utilizes a sharp 2-1/8 inch carbon steel blade that can be easily replaced or honed to a razor edge. When the project is finished, the included vinyl pouch ensures your spokeshave remains protected in your toolbox, ready for the next masterpiece.

Key Features

  • Flat Base Design: Perfectly suited for smoothing flat surfaces and shaping convex curves like spindles and oars.
  • Adjustable Performance: Features manual adjustment screws to control blade depth and shaving thickness for roughing or finishing.
  • Durable Construction: Heavy-duty cast iron body provides stability and long-lasting durability.
  • High-Carbon Blade: Comes equipped with a sharp 2-1/8 inch cutter that holds an edge and is fully replaceable.
  • Protective Storage: Includes a vinyl carrying pouch to protect the sole and cutting edge when not in use.
  • Ergonomic Control: Twin handles allow for a two-handed grip, maximizing control over the cutting angle and pressure.
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for chair making, instrument crafting, and general woodworking contouring.

What's Included

  • (1) Stanley Flat Base Spoke Shave (12-951)

Pro-Tip: To achieve the smoothest finish on difficult grain or end grain, try "skewing" the spokeshave. Instead of pushing it straight forward, hold the tool at a slight diagonal angle to the direction of the cut. This effectively lowers the cutting angle and slices through the wood fibers like a guillotine, significantly reducing chatter and tear-out.

Great Industrial Style Shelf - Easy Install and Sturdy Build
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 3 Tiers 24 Inch
I'm really happy with this 3-tier industrial pipe shelf bracket! It fits perfectly with my industrial chic/light steampunk decor theme and adds exactly the vintage industrial look I was going for. Installation: Took me about an hour to get it completely mounted, which was totally reasonable. All the necessary hardware was included, and the instructions were straightforward. I mounted it to drywall without any issues. Quality: The build quality feels solid and sturdy - definitely not flimsy like some wall shelves I've tried. It holds weight as expected, and I have confidence it'll support my display items long-term. Functionality: I'm using it to display various decorative items and knick-knacks, and it's perfect for that purpose. The three tiers give me good display space without taking up floor space. Style: The retro industrial pipe design is spot-on if you're going for that aesthetic. It really complements an industrial chic or steampunk theme well. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for functional floating shelves with industrial character. Good value for the quality and style you get.

Great product

Great item. I love the look, it’s perfect for displaying my collection. I didn’t actually set it up per the instructions, I modified it, but it’s like legos, you can get creative. I only attached the top and they hang. Use better fasteners though, I don’t trust the ones they provide

These were a great purchase! I bought two of them, and they look great in my son’s room, as he likes to collect and display action figures. The wood shelves and metal bars are of good quality and are also the perfect size and height. Also excellent value for the price!
