Drawknife Rehab

I am rehabbing an old drawknife in hopes of making it a usable tool.  My progress can be followed on a series of post on this blog.


Galbert Drawsharp

In conjunction with the aforementioned drawknife rehab I am learning to use the newest tool in my arsenal, that is the Galbert Drawsharp.  The Drawsharp is the result of a collaboration between chairmaker Peter Galbert and tool maker Jameel Abraham of Benchcrafted fame.  I will be making a post on this wonderful item soon.



The finished drawknife.  It is now a very usable tool with new cherry handles.

  1. You have it, Ray! Your craftsmanship is timeless! You have an eye and the touch to capture the patina in a piece. Outstanding work!! :)

  2. Well done! I've sen some very crude versions of the Maime Chair in pine and Cypress down this way but I hadn't seen one in Windsor Style. Nice execution!
