Just got this to finish off before I start on a scat copy,, (unfortunately back to the day job this week,)

I�ll be making a few more of the travishers, as I get time
And possibly a small run of drawknives

Sorry may have opened a can of worms there with that request...should have PM'd you!

Also please can I ask how you sharpen your curved tools? I usually use a honing guide so I'm having trouble with mine!

Northern monkey · « **Reply #808 on:** August 14, 2020, 04:45:45 PM »

Sharpening a travisher is easy enough as long as the cutting angle is spot on
I use an old bat handle with wet and dry wrapped round it,,, roll it along the cutting edge, then the back edge
Go through the grades, your looking for even burrs along the edges.
Start at 600grit, and finish on 1500 or so

As with most things these days, you tube is your friend.

Cleft chosen, edges and spine drawn on
