What is the Qiangsheng Luban Bronze Spokeshave used for?
It is used for refining convex and concave surfaces after initial shaping with the bandsaw or coping saw. This is because the short planning surface makes spokeshaves easy to access such areas where a normal plane could never do. It is also often used to round square posts (i.e. to make round legs from square timber).
The Luban brand is manufactured by the Qiangsheng Tool Company, also known as Quangsheng, who are well known for producing very high-quality tools (including the well-regarded Wood River).
Since its market debut, the Luban brand has created a stir with its wonderful combination of high-quality products (at par with established premium brands) and affordable prices.
