The inspiration for Lie-Nielsen's first spokeshave was a small shave made by Preston, the now defunct English firm famous for its metal shoulder planes. Despite its petite appearance, this spokeshave feels surprisingly heavy in the hand, and cuts with a sureness that will come as a revelation to those used to run-of-the-mill cast iron spokeshaves. The 1/8" thick A2 steel blade seats firmly on a fully-machined bronze bed that supports it right up to the cutting edge. Curved sole has a 1-1/2" radius. It is 6-3/4" long with a 1-3/8" wide iron.
