As for spoke shaves, I have two made by Samona (South Korea). Fantastic blade steel was the reason to buy a second one.
The design with the two adjustment thumb screws beats the Hello out of a hammer-set, like a Stanley 51 (POS).
I used to carve spoons and forks. I have pulled those spoke shaves more than a mile in birch.
Bevel angle is 28 degrees. 800 then 1200 grit then hone a little on a strop and they sing in the wood.
I set one for thick and the other for finish thin cuts. Maybe $16.00 each in the local village hardware store.
Cracking. I'm convinced it depends on wood species. I have never, ever, seen a length of apple
which was not cracked, end-to-end, bark on or not.
Concussion = sense of balance phuqued.
Must walk with a cane so I pay far more attention to such things than I ever did.
