Hi Guys..

More stuff coming out this weekend...this is the last of my spokeshaves...and this time a REAL gem that I am reluctant to sell but I am still on my saving kick!

This is one of the old originals of the very best maker...PRESTON and Sons Birmingham.

This is for sale at £35 plus postage. Payment by PayPal...first to PM secures

There are very few of these left complete with original iron and most of the Japanning:

Yes I do Jim, it makes me think of all the hands that have been using it over the decades.

Naah - got one already!
It is indeed a beautiful thing to use. I was straightening up some dodgy jigsawn 40mm curved ak chair legs yesterday.
