A spoke shave is a woodworking tool used for shaping and smoothing round or curved surfaces. However, there are several other terms that refer to the same type of tool. One common synonym is a drawknife, which is used for the same purpose but has a longer blade and two handles. Another synonym is a shavehook, which has a curved blade for working on concave surfaces. A spokeshave can also be referred to as a shaving horse, which is a type of workbench that holds the wood while the tool is used. Whatever the name, a good spokeshave is an essential tool for any woodworker working with curved or rounded surfaces.
