english shaving horse

Post by Peter Kotowych »

Hi guys,

Does anyone have a building plan for a shaving horse.
I saw one recently in a magazine and it looks like a cool thing
to help carve your thwart or paddle.
Thanks
Pete

Hi Peter, how about a Swiss shaving horse? http://www.countryworkshops.org/CWshavehorse.html

The new cover (Jan, 2005) of the Lee Valley (gift) catalogue has a picture of a shaving horse on it.
On page 38 there are plans for it (05L19.01) $11.50.

Happy shaving,
Doug
