sole / hollow sole suited to rounding work such as on a shapely chair
or table leg, and suited to quickly round any nosing or edge.
The Record 055 spokeshave is coloured in the deep Record blue.
The concave shave is marked 'No' and '055'.
The blade is manually adjusted into position.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
